ecosystem impact- 273 npm packages depend on axios (189 direct, 84 indirect)
Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 1.0.0.
DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 1.0.0 to before 1.15.1, the FormDataPart constructor in lib/helpers/formDataToStream.js interpolates value.type directly into the Content-Type header of each multipart part without sanitizing CRLF (\r\n) sequences. An attacker who controls the .type property of a Blob/File-like object (e.g., via a user-uploaded file in a Node.js proxy service) can inject arbitrary MIME part headers into the multipart form-data body. This bypasses Node.js v18+ built-in header protections because the injection targets the multipart body structure, not HTTP request headers. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1.
AnalysisAI
Axios HTTP client versions 1.0.0 through 1.15.0 allow header injection in multipart form-data bodies through unsanitized CRLF sequences in the Content-Type header of individual parts. An attacker controlling a Blob/File object's .type property (such as via user-uploaded files in a Node.js proxy service) can inject arbitrary MIME headers into the multipart body, bypassing Node.js v18+ built-in header protections. The vulnerability affects network-accessible services and results in integrity compromise through header manipulation.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the FormDataPart constructor within lib/helpers/formDataToStream.js, where the .type property of Blob/File-like objects is directly interpolated into the Content-Type header of multipart form-data parts without CRLF normalization or validation. This is a CWE-93 (Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers) issue. The multipart form-data protocol allows multiple headers per part, and unvalidated CRLF sequences permit injection of new header lines such as 'Content-Disposition' or custom headers. Unlike HTTP request headers, which Node.js v18+ protects through built-in validation, the multipart body is constructed as a string and transmitted as the request payload, circumventing those protections. Attackers exploiting this must have control over the .type property of objects passed to FormData, a realistic scenario in proxy services or applications processing user-supplied files.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Axios to version 1.15.1 or later immediately. Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should implement input validation on any user-supplied .type properties before passing objects to FormData constructors-explicitly sanitize or reject .type values containing CRLF sequences (\r or \n characters). If Axios must remain at older versions, disable or restrict user-controlled file uploads to services that process multipart form-data, or implement a Content-Type whitelist enforced at the application level. For Node.js proxy services, validate the entire multipart body before transmission using a library that normalizes CRLF in Content-Type headers. The patch in 1.15.1 adds CRLF sanitization to the FormDataPart constructor; no workarounds fully replicate this fix without code changes.
