SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-j5f8-grm9-p9fc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442644

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. Prior to 0.32.0 and 1.16.0, Axios’
 Node.js HTTP adapter can leak proxy credentials to a redirect target in affected versions. When a request
 is sent through an authenticated proxy, Axios may add a Proxy-Authorization header. If Axios then follows
 a redirect and the redirected request is no longer sent through that proxy, the stale Proxy-Authorization
 header can remain on the redirected request and be sent to the redirect target. This affects Node.js's use
 of Axios with automatic redirects enabled and an authenticated proxy configuration. Browser adapters are
 not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.32.0 and 1.16.0. (CVE-2026-44486)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 0.32.0 or later.
