CVE-2026-13697: undici vulnerable to cross-user information disclosure and parse-time crash via degenerate private cache directives

August 3, 2026

Two issues in undici’s cache interceptor, both fixed by the same patch on lib/util/cache.js:

  1. Shared-cache disclosure: Responses with malformed qualified Cache-Control: private directives such as private="" or private="," can be incorrectly stored in the default shared cache, then served to a later caller with the same cache key.
  2. Parse-time crash: Mixed unqualified-and-qualified private directives in the same header (such as public, max-age=60, private, private="hdr") cause an uncaught TypeError in the cache-control parser, terminating the request.
