Credential disclosure via cross-origin redirect header forwarding
Published Apr 4, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Information disclosure in Node.js Undici before 5.28.4 and 6.0.0 through 6.11.0 allows remote attackers to obtain proxy credentials via redirects. RedirectHandler.shouldRemoveHeader omits Proxy-Authorization from the headers removed when undici.request() follows a cross-origin redirect, causing the value to be forwarded to the new origin. Exploitation requires an application to supply that header, enable automatic redirection, and follow a redirect to an attacker-controlled endpoint.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
