CVE-2026-15075

Описание

In Eclipse Vert.x versions up to and including 4.5.29 (4.x branch) and 5.1.4 (5.x branch), DefaultRedirectHandler (vertx-core) propagates all request headers as-is across cross-origin HTTP 30x redirects. Only Content-Length is stripped; no origin comparison (scheme, host, port) is performed before copying headers to the redirect target. As a result, credential headers, including Authorization, Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, and arbitrary custom headers such as X-API-Token, are forwarded to the redirect destination without the caller's knowledge. An attacker who can cause a Vert.x HttpClient to issue a request that is redirected to an attacker-controlled host (for example, by supplying a URL to a webhook dispatcher, image proxy, or microservice URL fetcher) can capture bearer tokens, basic-auth credentials, session cookies, and API keys attached to the original request.

A flaw was found in Eclipse Vert.x. The DefaultRedirectHandler in vertx-core improperly handles HTTP 30x redirects by propagating all request headers, including sensitive authentication and session credentials, to cross-origin redirect destinations. An attacker can exploit this by redirecting a Vert.x HttpClient request to a malicious host. This allows the attacker to capture sensitive information such as bearer tokens, basic authentication credentials, session cookies, and API keys, leading to unauthorized access or further attacks.
