In version 8.0.1 and earlier, the redirect handling in packages/hurl/src/http/client.rs strips Authorization and Cookie headers and basic-auth credentials when a redirect changes host, but it carries RequestSpec.cookies created from the dedicated [Cookies] section into the redirected request. An attacker-controlled redirect can therefore receive authentication or session cookies that should remain scoped to the original host. Cookies supplied through a raw Cookie header are stripped and are not affected by this specific path. This issue is reported as fixed in version 8.1.0.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-63481)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `hurl <= 8.0.1`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-7w2g-9mf9-324m","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":28,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":27.5,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
