From 1.7.0 until 1.20.0, the fetch adapter constructs a Request with sanitized resolvedOptions but then calls fetch with the original fetchOptions. A separate same-process prototype-pollution flaw populates Object.prototype.headers so fetchOptions.headers resolves through inheritance. The inherited fetchOptions.headers value overrides the sanitized Request headers through the second argument to fetch after Request construction. Attacker-controlled request headers can alter authorization, caching, metadata-service access, or application-specific behavior. This issue is fixed in version 1.20.0.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-101908)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `axios >= 1.7.0, < 1.20.0`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `axios 1.20.0`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-vh66-26gq-q6x8\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Moderate · affected: Red Hat Hardened Images · no fix planned: Red Hat Hardened Images · updated 2026-09-28 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-101908.json)\n- **RHSA-2026:74871** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Hardened Images · released 2026-10-02 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:74871)\n- **RHSA-2026:74869** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Hardened Images · released 2026-10-02 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:74869)\n- **RHSA-2026:74872** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Hardened Images · released 2026-10-02 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:74872)","depth":"twilight","depthScore":50,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":38,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":212110,"id":"CVE-2026-101908","ts":1790623195364,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"}]}
