DescriptionCVE.org
Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 1.13.2, Axios HTTP/2 session cleanup logic contains a state corruption bug that allows a malicious server to crash the client process through concurrent session closures. The vulnerability exists in the Http2Sessions.getSession() method in lib/adapters/http.js. The session cleanup logic contains a control flow error when removing sessions from the sessions array. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.13.2.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Axios HTTP/2 client before version 1.13.2 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash Node.js applications through malicious HTTP/2 server responses that trigger state corruption during concurrent session closures. The vulnerability exploits a control flow error in session cleanup logic with high attack complexity, making real-world exploitation require specific server-side conditions but posing significant risk to applications relying on HTTP/2.
Technical ContextAI
Axios is a popular promise-based HTTP client library for Node.js and browsers. The vulnerability resides in the Http2Sessions.getSession() method within lib/adapters/http.js, where HTTP/2 session management logic improperly handles removal of sessions from an internal sessions array. The root cause is classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), indicating a resource management flaw where concurrent session closure operations corrupt internal state. When a malicious HTTP/2 server triggers multiple simultaneous session terminations, the cleanup logic fails to properly synchronize array mutations, leading to use-after-free or index out-of-bounds conditions that crash the Node.js process. This affects all Axios versions before 1.13.2 that support HTTP/2 protocol handling.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Axios to version 1.13.2 or later, which contains the fix for the HTTP/2 session cleanup control flow error. For applications unable to immediately upgrade, disable HTTP/2 protocol support in HTTP client configuration or implement network-level filtering to restrict HTTP/2 connections from untrusted servers. Consult the official GitHub Security Advisory (https://github.com/axios/axios/security/advisories/GHSA-qj83-cq47-w5f8) for additional context and verification of patch deployment. Monitor Node.js process stability and implement crash recovery mechanisms as temporary mitigations.
