SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-p92q-9vqr-4j8v)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442642

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’s
Node.js HTTP adapter may forward a Proxy-Authorization header to a redirected origin during specific
proxy-to-direct redirect flows. This affects Node.js usage, where an initial HTTP request is sent through
an authenticated HTTP proxy, redirects are followed, and the redirected URL is no longer proxied. Under
affected redirect shapes, the final origin can receive the proxy credential that was intended only for the
outbound proxy. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.32.0 and 1.16.0. (CVE-2026-44487)

Solution

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