Versions of the package follow-redirects before 1.15.4 are vulnerable to
Improper Input Validation due to the improper handling of URLs by the
url.parse() function. When new URL() throws an error, it can be manipulated
to misinterpret the hostname. An attacker could exploit this weakness to
redirect traffic to a malicious site, potentially leading to information
disclosure, phishing attacks, or other security breaches.
