follow-redirects is an open source, drop-in replacement for Node’s http
and https
modules that automatically follows redirects. In affected
versions follow-redirects only clears authorization header during
cross-domain redirect, but keep the proxy-authentication header which
contains credentials too. This vulnerability may lead to credentials leak,
but has been addressed in version 1.15.6. Users are advised to upgrade.
There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
