Outdated DataTables Library Allows Tampering with Page Behaviour

high

Your website uses an outdated version of DataTables — a popular JavaScript library for displaying sortable, searchable tables. The version in use has a known flaw that could allow an attacker to tamper with how the page behaves by injecting unexpected values into the library's internal logic. Think of it like a faulty lock that a previous repair didn't fully fix — a second patch is needed to close the gap.

Axios Library May Leak Proxy Credentials During Web Requests

medium

Your application uses a JavaScript library called Axios to make web requests. A flaw in one of its supporting components means that if your app routes traffic through an authenticated proxy server, those proxy login credentials could be accidentally sent to the wrong destination when a redirect occurs. This only affects you if your app uses proxy authentication — if it doesn't, you're not at risk.

Axios Library Flaw Lets Attackers Crash Your Node.js Server

high

Your application uses a version of Axios — a very common networking library — that has a flaw allowing an attacker to send a specially crafted request that forces your server to consume all available memory and crash. This causes downtime for your users and can be triggered with a single request, requiring no login or special access.

Outdated HTTP Library Can Leak API Keys to Unintended Servers

high

Your application uses an outdated version of axios, a popular tool for making web requests. Due to a flaw in how it handles certain URLs, API keys or other credentials your app sends with requests could be accidentally forwarded to the wrong server — including servers controlled by an attacker. This affects both server-side and browser-based usage of the library.

Outdated Axios Library Leaks Security Tokens to Third-Party Servers

medium

Your application uses an outdated version of Axios, a popular tool that helps your app communicate with other services over the internet. Due to a bug in this version, a special security token — designed to protect your users from a type of attack where a malicious website tricks their browser into taking actions on your site — is accidentally sent to any external server your app talks to, not just your own. Think of it like a master key being slipped under every door in the building instead of just your own front door.
