CVE-2026-101898 · Severity: high · CVSS 4 · Published 2026-09-28

Axios is an HTTP client library used by web applications and Node.js services. In versions 1.13.0 through 1.19.x, HTTPS requests over HTTP/2 fail to apply configured proxy settings or custom DNS resolution policies, allowing requests to bypass intended network routing and security controls. This affects any application using Axios with HTTP/2 that relies on proxies for security filtering or DNS policies for name resolution.

Technologies: Axios, axios (npm). Vendors: Axios, npm.

How to fix

axios (npm): upgrade to 1.20.0 or later
```
npm install axios@1.20.0
```

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in Axios's HTTP/2 request setup code, which does not consistently apply caller-supplied proxy configuration (config.proxy or environment variables) or custom DNS lookup policies (config.lookup) before invoking http2.connect(). An attacker with network-level access or control over application configuration could force HTTP/2 HTTPS requests to bypass proxy and DNS policy enforcement. The issue is patched in version 1.20.0.
