## Overview

A flaw was found in undici. When using Socks5ProxyAgent, undici incorrectly reuses a single connection pool across different origins. This can lead to cross-origin request routing, where sensitive credentials and data intended for one destination are sent to another. Consequently, responses from unintended origins may be trusted, and secure HTTPS connections could be silently downgraded to unencrypted HTTP, resulting in information disclosure and data integrity issues.

Workarounds / mitigations:

- The single most impactful mitigation is applying network egress controls to restrict which external destinations affected applications can reach. Because the vulnerability causes requests to be misrouted to wrong origins, limiting the set of reachable origins directly reduces the attack surface. These controls collectively limit the blast radius of the connection pool misrouting — the attacker must compromise one of the explicitly allowed destinations rather than any arbitrary origin — but they…
