Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-40895)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to exposure of sensitive information in the redirect handling logic in index.js when following cross-domain redirects. A remote attacker can cause a request to be redirected to an attacker-controlled domain to disclose sensitive information.
Custom authentication headers such as API keys or auth tokens may be forwarded to the redirect target, while only authorization, proxy-authorization, and cookie headers are stripped.
2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-6321)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass path-based policy checks.
The vulnerability exists due to path traversal in the normalize() and equal() functions when processing percent-encoded path separators and dot segments in attacker-controlled URLs. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted URL to bypass path-based policy checks.
Applications that normalize or compare attacker-controlled URLs to enforce path-based policy are affected.
3) Interpretation Conflict (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-6322)
CWE-ID: CWE-436 - Interpretation Conflict
CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass host-based security checks and route requests to an unintended authority.
The vulnerability exists due to interpretation conflict in the URI host component when processing percent-encoded authority delimiters. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted URL to bypass host-based security checks and route requests to an unintended authority.
This issue can affect applications that normalize untrusted URLs before host allowlist checks, redirect validation, or outbound request routing.
4) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-40175)
CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')
CVSSv4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to software does not correclty process CRLF character sequences. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.
5) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27789)
CWE-ID: CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
CVSSv4: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
