GHSA-mmx7-hfxf-jppx: Axios: Prototype pollution gadgets can alter axios request construction

July 20, 2026 (updated August 31, 2026)

axios is vulnerable to read-side prototype-pollution gadgets when Object.prototype has already been polluted by another vulnerability or dependency. The most broadly reachable issue is in the bodyless method aliases: axios.get(), axios.delete(), axios.head(), and axios.options() read inherited data before config normalization, causing attacker-controlled body data to be sent on requests that did not explicitly set a body.

Additional low-level paths affect consumers that call exported adapters/helpers directly with plain config objects. In those cases, inherited proxy or paramsSerializer values can influence request routing or URL serialization. These low-level paths are not reproduced through normal axios.get() usage on 1.15.2+.

Three prototype pollution read-side gadgets in axios bypass the own() hasOwnProp guard pattern, allowing a polluted Object.prototype to hijack outbound requests.
