SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-445q-vr5w-6q77)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441066

Description

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 1.0.0 to before 1.15.1, the
 FormDataPart constructor in lib/helpers/formDataToStream.js interpolates value.type directly into the
 Content-Type header of each multipart part without sanitizing CRLF (\r\n) sequences. An attacker who
 controls the .type property of a Blob/File-like object (e.g., via a user-uploaded file in a Node.js proxy
 service) can inject arbitrary MIME part headers into the multipart form-data body. This bypasses Node.js
 v18+ built-in header protections because the injection targets the multipart body structure, not HTTP
 request headers. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1. (CVE-2026-42037)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 1.15.1 or later.
