CVE-2026-42036

A flaw was found in Axios. When 'responseType: 'stream'' is used, Axios returns the response stream without enforcing the 'maxContentLength' limit. This allows a remote attacker to bypass configured response-size limits, leading to unbounded downstream consumption of resources. This vulnerability...

Axios: HTTP adapter streamed responses bypass maxContentLength

This bypasses configured response-size limits and allows unbounded downstream consumption. This...

GHSA-4HJH-WCWX-XVWJ Axios is vulnerable to DoS attack through lack of data size check

Summary When Axios runs on Node.js and is given a URL with the data: scheme, it does not perform HTTP. Instead, its Node http adapter decodes the entire payload into memory Buffer/Blob and returns a synthetic 200 response. This path ignores maxContentLength / maxBodyLength which only protect HTTP...

GHSA-42XW-2XVC-QX8M Denial of Service in axios

Versions of axios prior to 0.18.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. If a request exceeds the maxContentLength property, the package prints an error but does not stop the request. This may cause high CPU usage and lead to Denial of Service. Recommendation Upgrade to 0.18.1 or later...
