CVE-2026-8368
Last modified
CVE-2026-8368 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. LWP::UserAgent versions before 6.83 for Perl leak Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers on cross-origin redirects. On a 3xx response, the redirect handler strips only Host and Cookie before issuing the follow-up request. Caller-supplied Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers are sent unchanged to the redirect target, including across scheme, host, or port changes. A redirect to an attacker controlled host therefore discloses the caller's credentials to that host.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
