An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-48856 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Erlang OTP. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2026-48856/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48856/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-48856","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48856/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-48856","record":{"aliases":["AZL-90120","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-48856","EEF-CVE-2026-48856","GHSA-m75x-4vwg-ggjh","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48856"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Erlang OTP inets","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can steal Authorization headers via cross-origin redirects in Erlang OTP httpc, exposing sensitive credentials to malicious servers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"EEF","cpe":[{"product":"erlang\\/inets","vendor":"erlang"},{"product":"erlang\\/otp","vendor":"erlang"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-601","name":"URL Redirection to Untrusted Site"}],"description":"Sensitive Data Exposure vulnerability in Erlang OTP inets (httpc_response module) allows Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data.\n\nThe httpc client forwards the Authorization and Proxy-Authorization request headers to redirect targets without checking whether the redirect crosses an origin boundary. httpc_response:redirect/2 constructs the redirected request by updating only the host field of the header record; all other fields (including authorization and proxy_authorization) are copied verbatim. The redirect target host is never compared against the original host.\n\nautoredirect defaults to true, so this affects all httpc callers that do not explicitly disable automatic redirects.\n\nAn attacker who controls a server that the victim contacts via httpc can issue a cross-origin 3xx redirect to a server they also control. The Authorization header (including Basic credentials derived from URL userinfo via httpc_request:handle_user_info/2) is forwarded to the redirect target, allowing credential theft. The same applies to the Proxy-Authorization header.\n\nThis vulnerability is associated with program files lib/inets/src/http_client/httpc_response.erl.\n\nThis issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before OTP 27.3.4.19, OTP 28.5.0.8, and OTP 29.1.2, corresponding to inets from 5.10 before 9.3.2.8, 9.6.2.4, and 9.8.1.
