axios versions from 0.28.0 before 0.33.0 and from 1.0.0 before 1.18.0 contain uncontrolled recursion in formDataToJSON (exposed as axios.formToJSON() and used internally when serializing FormData with Content-Type: application/json). When an application passes attacker-controlled FormData field names, a field name with thousands of nested bracket-delimited segments causes unbounded recursion in buildPath(), exhausting the JavaScript call stack (RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded) and causing denial of service for that request, or process termination in applications without appropriate error handling.

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

  - axios versions from 0.28.0 before 0.33.0 and from 1.0.0 before 1.18.0 contain uncontrolled recursion in
    formDataToJSON (exposed as axios.formToJSON() and used internally when serializing FormData with Content-
    Type: application/json). When an application passes attacker-controlled FormData field names, a field name
    with thousands of nested bracket-delimited segments causes unbounded recursion in buildPath(), exhausting
    the JavaScript call stack (RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded) and causing denial of service for
    that request, or process termination in applications without appropriate error handling. (CVE-2026-67312)

The version of the axios Node.js module installed on the remote host is 0.28.0 prior to 0.33.0 or 1.x prior to 1.18.0.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Uncontrolled recursion in formDataToJSON when an application passes attacker-controlled FormData field names     with thousands of nested bracket-delimited segments causes unbounded recursion in buildPath(), exhausting     the JavaScript call stack and causing denial of service. (CVE-2026-67312)

  - Uncontrolled recursion in formDataToJSON when processing FormData field names with deeply nested bracket     segments. Attackers can supply FormData with field names containing thousands of nested brackets to exhaust     the JavaScript call stack and trigger RangeError. (CVE-2026-67313)

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

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

  - axios versions from 0.28.0 before 0.33.0 and from 1.0.0 before 1.18.0 contain uncontrolled recursion in     formDataToJSON (exposed as axios.formToJSON() and used internally when serializing FormData with Content-     Type: application/json). When an application passes attacker-controlled FormData field names, a field name     with thousands of nested bracket-delimited segments causes unbounded recursion in buildPath(), exhausting     the JavaScript call stack (RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded) and causing denial of service for     that request, or process termination in applications without appropriate error handling. (CVE-2026-67312)

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