Last modified
CVE-2026-49853 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, SimpleAsyncHTTPClient shallow-copied redirected requests and removed only the Host header, leaving Authorization, auth_username, auth_password, and auth_mode in place when a redirect changed scheme, host, or port. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
