medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440385

Description

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

 - AdonisJS HTTP Server is a package for handling HTTP requests in the AdonisJS framework. In @adonisjs/http-
 server versions prior to 7.8.1 and 8.0.0-next.0 through 8.1.3, and @adonisjs/core versions prior to 7.4.0,
 the response.redirect().back() method reads the Referer header from the incoming HTTP request and
 redirects to that URL without validating the host.An attacker who can influence the Referer header can
 cause the application to redirect users to a malicious external site. This affects all AdonisJS
 applications that use response.redirect().back() or response.redirect('back'). This issue has been fixed
 in versions 7.8.1 and 8.2.0 and 7.4.0 of @adonisjs/core. (CVE-2026-40255)

Solution

Update the @adonisjs/http-server library and its related packages to version 7.8.1 or later.
