{ "canonical_id": "undici--CVE-2023-45143", "system_id": "undici", "display_name": "Undici", "category": "frameworks", "advisory_mode": "core", "title": "Undici's cookie header not cleared on cross-origin redirect in fetch", "summary": "### Impact\n\nUndici clears Authorization headers on cross-origin redirects, but does not clear `Cookie` headers. By design, `cookie` headers are [forbidden request headers](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#forbidden-request-header), disallowing them to be set in `RequestInit.headers` in browser environments. Since Undici handles headers more liberally than the specification, there was a disconnect from the assumptions the spec made, and Undici's implementation of fetch.\n\nAs such this may lead to accidental leakage of cookie to a 3rd-party site or a malicious attacker who can control the redirection target (ie. an open redirector) to leak the cookie to the 3rd party site.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis was patched in [e041de359221ebeae04c469e8aff4145764e6d76](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/commit/e041de359221ebeae04c469e8aff4145764e6d76), which is included in version 5.26.2.\n", "published_at": "2023-10-16T14:05:37Z", "updated_at": "2026-02-04T02:35:56.289390Z", "severity": "low", "cvss_score": 3.1, "exploit_status": "unknown", "source_confidence": "official", "official_source_url": "https://github.com/nodejs/undici/security/advisories/GHSA-q768-x9m6-m9qp", "secondary_source_urls": [ "https://github.com/nodejs/undici/security/advisories/GHSA-wqq4-5wpv-mx2g", "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-45143", "https://github.com/nodejs/undici/commit/e041de359221ebeae04c469e8aff4145764e6d76", "https://hackerone.com/reports/2166948", "https://github.com/nodejs/undici", "https://github.com/nodejs/undici/releases/tag/v5.26.2", "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/3N4NJ7FR4X4FPZUGNTQAPSTVB2HB2Y4A", "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/E72T67UPDRXHIDLO3OROR25YAMN4GGW5", "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/FNA62Q767CFAFHBCDKYNPBMZWB7TWYVU", "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/HT7T2R4MQKLIF4ODV4BDLPARWFPCJ5CZ", "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/LKYHSZQFDNR7RSA7LHVLLIAQMVYCUGBG", "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/X6QXN4ORIVF6XBW4WWFE7VNPVC74S45Y" ], "aliases": [ "CVE-2023-45143", "GHSA-wqq4-5wpv-mx2g" ], "cve_ids": [ "CVE-2023-45143" ], "ghsa_ids": [ "GHSA-wqq4-5wpv-mx2g" ], "osv_ids": [ "GHSA-wqq4-5wpv-mx2g" ], "affected_versions": [ "introduced=0, fixed<5.26.2" ], "fixed_versions": [ "5.26.2" ], "package_name": "undici", "render_markdown": true, "case_path": "07-framework-security/frameworks/undici/cases/undici-cve-2023-45143.md", "secure_code_topics": [ "ssrf-url-validation", "proxy-trust-boundary", "token-cookie-storage" ], "status": "generated", "triage_reasons": [], "metadata": { "source_names": [ "OSV Undici" ], "source_kinds": [ "osv-batch" ], "candidate_count": 1 } }
