Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to exposure of sensitive information in the redirect handling logic in index.js when following cross-domain redirects. A remote attacker can cause a request to be redirected to an attacker-controlled domain to disclose sensitive information.
Custom authentication headers such as API keys or auth tokens may be forwarded to the redirect target, while only authorization, proxy-authorization, and cookie headers are stripped.
Remediation
Install security update from vendor's website.
