Prior to 1.15.0 and 0.31.0, Axios does not correctly handle hostname normalization when checking NO_PROXY rules. Requests to loopback addresses like localhost. (with a trailing dot) or [::1] (IPv6 literal) skip NO_PROXY matching and go through the configured proxy. This goes against what developers expect and lets attackers force requests through a proxy, even if NO_PROXY is set up to protect loopback or internal services. This issue leads to the possibility of proxy bypass and SSRF vulnerabilities allowing attackers to reach sensitive loopback or internal services despite the configured protections. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.0 and 0.31.0. ## Affected - `axios < 0.31.0` - `axios >= 1.0.0, < 1.15.0` ## Remediation Upgrade past the affected range: - `axios 1.15.0` ## Vendor advisories - **RHSA-2026:24761** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-06-09 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:24761) - **RHSA-2026:26010** · Red Hat · fixed in: Cluster Observability Operator 1.5.0 · released 2026-06-15 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:26010) - **RHSA-2026:16874** · Red Hat · fixed in: Network Observability (NETOBSERV) 1.11.0 · released 2026-05-13 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:16874) - **RHSA-2026:36882** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.14 · released 2026-07-08 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:36882) - **RHSA-2026:20938** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 4.9 · released 2026-05-26 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:20938) - **RHSA-2026:20889** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes 4.10 · released 2026-05-26 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:20889) - **RHSA-2026:24766** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 · released 2026-06-09 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:24766) - **RHSA-2026:59155** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 · released 2026-08-24 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:59155) - **RHSA-2026:24866** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 · released 2026-06-09 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:24866) - **RHSA-2026:9742** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Developer Hub 1.8 · released 2026-04-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:9742) - **RHSA-2026:13826** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Developer Hub 1.9 · released 2026-05-05 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:13826) - **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Gatekeeper 3, Migration Toolkit for Applications 8, Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes, Network Observability Operator, OpenShift Pipelines, OpenShift Service Mesh 2, … · no fix planned: Gatekeeper 3, Migration Toolkit for Applications 8, Red Hat 3scale API Management Platform 2, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2, … · updated 2026-09-09 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2025/cve-2025-62718.json)
