SECURITY POSTURE

Axios has a poor security track record with multiple high and critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities, prototype pollution, and hostname normalization bypasses affecting versions prior to 1.15.x and 0.31.x.

Notable failures
  • CVE-2026-42264 RCE via config properties
  • CVE-2026-42044 Prototype Pollution
  • CVE-2025-62718 NO_PROXY hostname normalization bypass
Patterns: repeated unpatched RCE and prototype pollution in core config handling; long unpatched windows for critical hostname normalization bypasses
