CVE-2024-57965Network attack vector

Disputed origin validation via DOM URL parsing

Published Jan 29, 2025 · Updated Jan 29, 2025

Origin validation error in Axios before 1.7.8 allows attackers to trigger unspecified impact via crafted browser request URLs. The isURLSameOrigin helper assigns an untrusted URL to an anchor element href and compares the resulting protocol and host instead of parsing it with the URL API. Browser-side code must pass attacker-controlled request URLs; upstream maintainers describe the finding as a static-analysis false positive with no demonstrated security consequence.
