CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe @hapi/wreck HTTP client utility prior to version 18.1.2 is vulnerable to improper handling of credential headers during cross-origin redirects, allowing sensitive information such as bearer tokens and session cookies to be forwarded across same-host port changes and HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades. This vulnerability could be exploited by co-tenants on adjacent ports or network attackers to impersonate users against upstream services. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 18.1.2 to mitigate the risk of credential exposure.

Original NVD Description
@hapi/wreck is an HTTP client utility. Prior to 18.1.2, Wreck strips credential headers including Authorization, Cookie, and Proxy-Authorization before following a cross-origin redirect, but the origin check compares hostnames only and ignores scheme and port, so credentials are forwarded intact across same-host port changes and HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades, allowing a co-tenant on an adjacent port or a network-position attacker capable of forging a redirect to capture bearer tokens, session cookies, and proxy credentials and impersonate the victim against the upstream service. This issue is fixed in version 18.1.2.
