Description

A flaw was found in Axios, an HTTP client library. This vulnerability allows an attacker to exploit a prototype pollution issue if another part of the application has already polluted the Object.prototype. By doing so, the attacker can intercept and modify JSON responses or take control of the HTTP communication. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information like user credentials and request details.
