Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-120474

medium Nessus Plugin ID 377487

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - undici is an HTTP client for Node.js. In versions 7.0.0 through 7.30.1 and 8.0.0 through 8.12.3, when the redirect interceptor and a shared response cache are used together, an authenticated request that is redirected to a same-origin target has the final response stored under the original request's cache key.
 That key omits the credential and carries no Vary header, so a later anonymous or different user can be served the first user's private response body. This results in cross-user disclosure of cached private responses. The issue is fixed in undici 7.30.2 and 8.12.4, and users should upgrade to one of those versions or later. (CVE-2026-120474)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
