Node.js Module axios 0.31.0 < 0.33.0 / 1.15.0 < 1.18.0 NO_PROXY Bypass (CVE-2026-67315)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 333255

Synopsis

A module in the Node.js JavaScript run-time environment is affected by a proxy bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of the axios Node.js module installed on the remote host is 0.31.0 prior to 0.33.0 or 1.15.0 prior to 1.18.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

 - axios fails to recognize 0.0.0.0 as a loopback address in shouldBypassProxy.js, allowing requests to 0.0.0.0 to bypass NO_PROXY rules. Attackers can supply 0.0.0.0 URLs to route requests through configured proxies, potentially exposing local services when the proxy can reach the destination. (CVE-2026-67315)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to axios version 0.33.0 / 1.18.0 or later.
