Upgrade axios, tronweb, and tar to fix critical SSRF/proxy bypass and prototype pollution vulnerabilities enabling MITM attacks, plus high-severity issues with proxy handling and header injection.

✅ 23 CVEs resolved by this upgrade, including 1 critical 🚨 CVE

This PR will resolve the following CVEs:

Issue Severity           Description
CVE-2025-62718
🚨 CRITICAL
[axios] Improper hostname normalization in NO_PROXY rule checking allows requests to loopback addresses (localhost., [::1]) to bypass proxy protections, enabling proxy bypass and potential SSRF attacks against internal services. This vulnerability permits attackers to reach sensitive services despite configured NO_PROXY protections.
CVE-2026-40175
HIGH
[axios] A prototype pollution vulnerability in a third-party dependency can be exploited to inject unsanitized header values into outbound HTTP requests. This allows attackers to manipulate request headers, potentially leading to request smuggling, cache poisoning, or other header-based attacks.
CVE-2026-44494
HIGH
[axios] Prototype pollution vulnerability allows escalation to Man-in-the-Middle attacks by injecting a malicious proxy into the prototype chain, enabling interception and modification of all HTTP traffic including authentication credentials. An attacker can read and alter all application HTTP communications through a compromised dependency.
AIKIDO-2026-10741
HIGH
[axios] An HTTP client vulnerability allows prototype pollution through loose object merging, sensitive data exposure via error serialization, and improper proxy/socket handling that could lead to information disclosure or unauthorized access.
AIKIDO-2026-10823
HIGH
[axios] HTTP adapter incorrectly routes HTTPS traffic through HTTP proxies in cleartext instead of using CONNECT tunnels, allowing proxies to observe sensitive request metadata and payloads that should be encrypted.
AIKIDO-2026-291630
HIGH
[axios] Cross-origin redirects leak custom credential headers like X-API-Key and AWS tokens to unintended hosts, allowing attackers to steal sensitive authentication data. This information disclosure vulnerability affects shared environments where secret headers are set by default.
AIKIDO-2026-10509
HIGH
[axios] Prototype pollution vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious headers into requests through unsafe FormData detection and header merging, potentially enabling authorization bypass or request manipulation.
GHSA-42h9-826w-cgv3
MEDIUM
[axios] Uncontrolled recursion in formDataToJSON when processing deeply nested FormData field names causes stack overflow, resulting in denial of service for applications converting untrusted FormData to JSON.
GHSA-7q8q-rj6j-mhjq
MEDIUM
[axios] Prototype pollution in nested request options allows inherited Object.prototype properties to inject malicious Authorization headers and manipulate query strings when applications pass placeholder objects like auth: {} or paramsSerializer: {}. This enables credential exfiltration and request tampering when another component has already polluted the prototype chain.
GHSA-jqh4-m9w3-8hp9
MEDIUM
[axios] The fetch adapter fails to enforce maxBodyLength limits on WHATWG ReadableStream request bodies with unknown sizes, allowing attackers to bypass upload size restrictions and cause unexpected network egress or resource exhaustion.
GHSA-mmx7-hfxf-jppx
MEDIUM
[axios] Prototype pollution read-side gadgets in axios allow attackers who pollute Object.prototype to hijack requests by injecting malicious data, proxy settings, or parameter serializers into bodyless methods and low-level adapter calls. This can result in credential theft, request body injection, traffic redirection, or URL manipulation depending on the attack vector.
GHSA-pmv8-rq9r-6j72
MEDIUM
[axios] Uncontrolled recursion in formDataToJSON allows attackers to crash the process by submitting FormData with deeply nested bracket-delimited field names, causing stack exhaustion and denial of service.
AIKIDO-2026-38469
MEDIUM
[axios] Malformed HTTP/HTTPS URLs without // (e.g., https:internal.example) were silently normalized instead of rejected, allowing attackers to bypass URL allowlists or WAF checks and reach unintended hosts. The fix now throws an error for invalid scheme URLs before normalization.
AIKIDO-2026-10820
MEDIUM
[axios] Request size limits were not enforced in the fetch adapter, allowing responses and bodies to exceed configured limits, potentially causing denial of service or memory exhaustion. The vulnerability has been fixed to properly reject oversized responses and bodies.
AIKIDO-2026-10822
LOW
[axios] A prototype pollution vulnerability in the formDataToJSON helper allows attackers to pollute Object.prototype through specially crafted multipart field names, potentially enabling remote code execution or other malicious actions.
GHSA-mwf2-3pr3-8698
LOW
[axios] Streamed request bodies bypass maxBodyLength enforcement when sent over HTTP/2, allowing attackers to transmit arbitrarily large payloads and exhaust resources or bypass configured egress limits. This affects Node.js applications forwarding untrusted streams to HTTP/2 endpoints.
AIKIDO-2026-10819
LOW
[axios] A regular expression vulnerability in browser cookie parsing allowed metacharacters in cookie names to cause incorrect matching or excessive CPU consumption. The vulnerability was fixed by switching to literal string comparison instead of regex-based matching.
AIKIDO-2026-732519
HIGH
[tar] A crafted tar archive with a negative base-256 encoded size can cause the library to loop infinitely on the same header during archive scanning, resulting in a denial of service that pins the worker process.
AIKIDO-2026-986821
HIGH
[tar] A decompression bomb vulnerability allows attackers to exhaust disk storage by crafting TAR archives with highly compressible data claiming massive file sizes, causing denial of service through uncontrolled resource consumption during extraction.
CVE-2026-29786
MEDIUM
[tar] A vulnerability allows attackers to create hardlinks pointing outside the extraction directory using drive-relative paths, enabling arbitrary file overwrite during extraction. This could lead to remote code execution or data tampering depending on the target files.
CVE-2026-23745
MEDIUM
[tar] A vulnerability in tar extraction fails to sanitize link paths in hardlink and symbolic link entries, allowing malicious archives to bypass path restrictions and overwrite arbitrary files or create symlink poisoning attacks.
CVE-2026-31802
MEDIUM
[tar] A vulnerability allows attackers to create symlinks pointing outside the extraction directory using drive-relative paths, enabling arbitrary file overwrite during extraction. This could lead to remote code execution or data tampering depending on the target files.
AIKIDO-2026-401672
MEDIUM
[tar] A PAX header parser vulnerability coerces path values to numbers, causing an uncaught TypeError when downstream code calls .split('/') on the numeric value, crashing the Node.js process during archive extraction.
