"The version of the axios Node.js module installed on the remote host is prior to 1.15.1. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Prototype pollution gadgets in axios allow response tampering, data exfiltration, and request hijacking.
    (CVE-2026-42033)

  - Axios' HTTP adapter-streamed uploads bypass maxBodyLength when maxRedirects is set to 0. (CVE-2026-42034)

  - Header injection via prototype pollution in axios. (CVE-2026-42035)

  - Axios HTTP adapter streamed responses bypass maxContentLength. (CVE-2026-42036)

  - Axios no_proxy bypass via IP alias allows SSRF. (CVE-2026-42038)

  - Unbounded recursion in toFormData causes denial of service via deeply nested request data. (CVE-2026-42039)

  - Incomplete fix for CVE-2025-62718 - NO_PROXY protection bypassed via RFC 1122 loopback subnet (127.0.0.0/8)
    in axios 1.15.0. (CVE-2026-42043)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
