{"cve":"CVE-2026-44488","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-11T17:16:32.750","modified":"2026-09-11T13:18:06.717","status":"Modified","description":"Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Axios versions 1.7.0 through 1.15.x did not enforce configured request and response size limits when requests were sent with the fetch adapter. Applications that selected adapter: 'fetch', or ran in environments where axios resolved to the fetch adapter, could receive or send bodies larger than maxContentLength or maxBodyLength despite those limits being explicitly configured. This can cause resource exhaustion in server-side usage when a malicious or compromised server returns an oversized response, when an attacker can supply a large data: URL, or when an application forwards attacker-controlled request bodies through axios while relying on maxBodyLength as a boundary. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.32.0 and 1.16.0.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-770"],"references":["https://github.com/axios/axios/security/advisories/GHSA-777c-7fjr-54vf","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:20889","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:20938","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:27044","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:27063"],"products":["axios:axios"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:38:48.522727527+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-44488","score":0.00669,"percentile":0.51972,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-777c-7fjr-54vf","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-777c-7fjr-54vf","summary":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Axios","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:48.738717543Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"axios","purl":"pkg:npm/axios","ranges":[">=1.7.0 <1.16.0"],"fixed":["1.16.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
