From 0.27.2 until 0.34.0 and 1.20.0, Axios default-instance requests that omit an explicit method can read an inherited method value from Object.prototype. If another vulnerability in the same process pollutes Object.prototype.method, calls such as axios.request({ url }) and axios({ url }) can send a state-changing HTTP method instead of the expected default GET. Axios does not create the prototype pollution source. This is a read-side gadget in axios request dispatch. This issue is fixed in version 0.34.0 and 1.20.0. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | node-axios | 26.04 LTS resolute | Needs evaluation | | 24.04 LTS noble | Needs evaluation | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Needs evaluation | | 20.04 LTS focal | Needs evaluation | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) ## Severity score breakdown CVSS version: CVSS v4.0 **Base score** 6.9 · Medium * Base metrics | Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | | Attack vector | Network | | Attack complexity | Low | | Attack requirements | Present | | Privileges required | None | | User interaction | None | | Vulnerable system - Confidentiality impact | None | | Vulnerable system - Integrity impact | None | | Vulnerable system - Availability impact | None | | Subsequent system - Confidentiality impact | None | | Subsequent system - Integrity impact | High | | Subsequent system - Availability impact | None | * Scores | Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | | Base score | 6.9 · Medium | | Base + Threat score | - | | Base + Environmental score | - | | Base + Threat + Environmental score | - | **Vector:** CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:H/SA:N ## References * [MITRE](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2026-101902) * [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-101902) * [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/bugs/cve/CVE-2026-101902) * [Debian](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-101902) ### Other references * * * * * *
