An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-44496 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- axios (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.32.0\n- axios (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.32.0\n- axios (npm): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.16.0\n- axios (npm): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.16.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-44496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-44496/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-44496","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-UY90963","CLSA-2026-1785117458","CLSA-2026-1793180826","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44496","ECHO-2e2e-8d9d-ff19","GHSA-hfxv-24rg-xrqf","MINI-296g-f8f2-cqv6","MINI-3xf9-46gg-6259","MINI-4jw7-5336-3hw7","MINI-5j3x-j4mf-2vfj","MINI-5rm2-p2v8-2j6f","MINI-6f87-rrj5-pcxj","MINI-7qvm-9xrv-cmp8","MINI-985x-wp5h-4rjp","MINI-c2j4-grmm-f8fj","MINI-cc9h-9c47-xw74","MINI-cpf2-pw2x-p99j","MINI-fpgp-369g-897c","MINI-jj9v-r6j7-q7wg","MINI-m852-g67v-25wg","MINI-qqq8-24m8-xgwf","MINI-qv5q-g8xw-w3wr","MINI-r75p-f9j7-pr2p","MINI-vf9v-8g5c-6547","MINI-vmcp-hfw6-hgv5","MINI-w3c6-pf74-m27f","MINI-w55g-qr7h-fjfj","MINI-w5xm-5gcv-9f58","MINI-x8vf-5g5f-jvg6","MINI-xv2q-22rj-m82m","MINI-xwfm-q7gq-gx8g","ROOT-APP-NPM-CVE-2026-44496","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-44496"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript HTTP client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause browser tab freezing in Axios by injecting regex metacharacters into the XSRF cookie name, leading to client-side denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"axios","vendor":"axios"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"},{"id":"CWE-1333","name":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity"}],"description":"Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Axios versions before 0.32.0 on the 0.x line and before 1.16.0 on the 1.x line build a regular expression from the configured XSRF cookie name without escaping regex metacharacters. In standard browser environments, an attacker who can influence the cookie name passed to axios can cause expensive regex backtracking while axios reads document.cookie. The practical impact is client-side availability degradation, such as freezing the affected browser tab while axios prepares a request. The issue does not affect ordinary Node.js HTTP adapter usage, React Native, or web workers, where axios does not read document.cookie.
