undici redirect cache poisoning via originless Agent (CVE-2026-116592)

high severity · published 2026-11-06

When an originless Agent combines the redirect and shared cache interceptors, a redirect that bounces through an untrusted origin and back is still cached under the trusted origin's key, and an intermediate hop's Vary header is dropped. An attacker can poison the cache so a response that varies on Authorization or Cookie is served to other users of the same client.
