Description

A flaw was found in Axios, a promise-based HTTP client. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the withXSRFToken configuration property to a truthy non-boolean value. This bypasses the same-origin check, causing Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) tokens to be sent to attacker-controlled cross-origin servers. This could lead to information disclosure and unauthorized actions.
