CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAxios versions 1.13.0 to 1.20.0 are vulnerable due to inconsistent application of proxy settings and DNS lookup policies during HTTP/2 request setup, potentially allowing requests to bypass intended proxy routes. This could lead to unauthorized access or exposure of sensitive data. Organizations using affected versions of Axios, particularly those handling sensitive information or operating in regulated environments, should prioritize upgrading to version 1.20.0 or later to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 1.13.0 until 1.20.0, Axios HTTP/2 request setup does not consistently apply proxy settings and caller-supplied DNS lookup policy. An HTTPS request uses httpVersion: 2 with explicit config.proxy or environment-derived proxy settings, or relies on caller-supplied config.lookup DNS policy. The HTTP/2 path can connect without the configured proxy behavior or without applying the caller-supplied config.lookup policy before http2.connect(). Requests can bypass the intended proxy route or the caller-supplied DNS resolution policy. This issue is fixed in version 1.20.0.
