Description

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

- When following an HTTP redirect to a domain which is not a subdomain match or exact match of the initial
domain, an http.Client does not forward sensitive headers such as "Authorization" or "Cookie". For

bar.com will not. A maliciously crafted HTTP redirect could cause sensitive headers to be unexpectedly
forwarded. (CVE-2023-45289)
