From 1e81b9225c4206f267c73adb5b4c5d7c51b78114 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: MK Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 20:10:10 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix: do not forward credential headers on cross-origin redirect When following a redirect to a different origin, urllib reused the caller's options verbatim, re-sending Authorization, Cookie, and Proxy-Authorization (and re-applying the Basic auth from `auth`) to the new origin. Strip these in handleRedirect when the redirect crosses the origin boundary. Same-origin redirects are unchanged. --- lib/urllib.js | 44 +++++++++++ test/redirect-cross-origin.test.js | 120 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 164 insertions(+) create mode 100644 test/redirect-cross-origin.test.js diff --git a/lib/urllib.js b/lib/urllib.js index 61ce3d13..941864a0 100644 --- a/lib/urllib.js +++ b/lib/urllib.js @@ -66,6 +66,44 @@ var TEXT_DATA_TYPES = [ var PROTO_RE = /^https?:\/\//i; +// Credential-bearing headers that must not be forwarded across an origin +// boundary when following a redirect, to avoid leaking them to a third party. +var CROSS_ORIGIN_SENSITIVE_HEADERS = [ 'authorization', 'cookie', 'proxy-authorization' ]; + +function isCrossOriginRedirect(fromHref, toUrl) { + try { + if (URL) { + return new URL(fromHref).origin !== new URL(toUrl, fromHref).origin; + } + // Fallback for runtimes without the WHATWG URL global. + // urlutil.parse does not normalize default ports, so compare protocol + + // hostname + normalized port instead of the raw `host`. + var from = urlutil.parse(fromHref); + var to = urlutil.parse(urlutil.resolve(fromHref, toUrl)); + var fromPort = from.port || (from.protocol === 'https:' ?
