Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 0.19.0 to before 0.31.1 and 1.15.2, Axios contains prototype-pollution gadgets in request config processing. If another vulnerability in the same JavaScript process has already polluted Object.prototype.transformResponse, affected Axios versions may treat that inherited value as request configuration or as an option validator. Axios does not itself create the prototype pollution. Exploitability requires a separate prototype-pollution vulnerability or equivalent attacker control over Object.prototype before Axios creates a request. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.31.1 and 1.15.2.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:34160 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * automation-platform-ui: Axios: Denial of Service due to unenforced request and response size limits     (CVE-2026-44488)
    * automation-platform-ui: Axios: Information disclosure due to prototype pollution vulnerability     (CVE-2026-44495)
    * automation-platform-ui: fast-uri: URI authority bypass due to improper delimiter handling     (CVE-2026-6322)
    * automation-platform-ui: Axios: Arbitrary HTTP header injection via prototype pollution (CVE-2026-42035)
    * automation-platform-ui: DOMPurify: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via inconsistent tag sanitization     (CVE-2026-41240)
    * automation-platform-ui: protobufjs: Arbitrary code execution due to unsafe expression generation from     crafted protobuf descriptors (CVE-2026-44293)
    * python3.12-pyjwt: Authentication bypass due to forged JSON Web Tokens (CVE-2026-48526)
    * automation-controller: Dynaconf: Arbitrary code execution via Server-Side Template Injection     (CVE-2026-33154)
    * python3.12-urllib3: Information disclosure via cross-origin redirects forwarding sensitive headers     (CVE-2026-44431)
    * python3.12-urllib3: Denial of Service due to excessive HTTP response decompression (CVE-2026-44432)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 0.19.0 to before 0.31.1 and 1.15.2,     Axios contains prototype-pollution gadgets in request config processing. If another vulnerability in the     same JavaScript process has already polluted Object.prototype.transformResponse, affected Axios versions     may treat that inherited value as request configuration or as an option validator. Axios does not itself     create the prototype pollution. Exploitability requires a separate prototype-pollution vulnerability or     equivalent attacker control over Object.prototype before Axios creates a request. This vulnerability is     fixed in 0.31.1 and 1.15.2. (CVE-2026-44495)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of the axios Node.js module installed on the remote host is 0.19.x prior to 0.31.1 or 1.x prior to 1.15.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability:

  - A prototype pollution gadget in the config merge and response transformation pipeline allows credential     theft and response hijacking. The mergeConfig function reads config properties via standard property     access which traverses the prototype chain. When Object.prototype.transformResponse is polluted with a     function, it overrides the default JSON response parser for every request. The injected function executes     with this set to config, exposing auth.username, auth.password, request URL, and all headers.
    (CVE-2026-44495)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 0.19.0 to before 0.31.1 and 1.15.2,
    Axios contains prototype-pollution gadgets in request config processing. If another vulnerability in the
    same JavaScript process has already polluted Object.prototype.transformResponse, affected Axios versions
    may treat that inherited value as request configuration or as an option validator. Axios does not itself
    create the prototype pollution. Exploitability requires a separate prototype-pollution vulnerability or
    equivalent attacker control over Object.prototype before Axios creates a request. This vulnerability is
    fixed in 0.31.1 and 1.15.2. (CVE-2026-44495)
