undici vulnerable to cross-user information disclosure via shared cache whitespace bypass

CVE-2026-9678 / GHSA-pr7r-676h-xcf6

More information

Details

Impact

Undici's cache interceptor incorrectly classifies some responses as cacheable when the upstream Cache-Control header uses whitespace-padded qualified private or no-cache field names such as private=" authorization" or no-cache="\tauthorization". The parser preserves the surrounding whitespace, so later comparisons against the literal authorization field name fail and the response is stored.

In shared-cache mode, this allows a response containing one user's authenticated data to be served from cache to a subsequent caller, including an unauthenticated caller, when both requests resolve to the same cache key.

Affected applications are those that explicitly enable the cache interceptor (interceptors.cache()) in shared mode, forward Authorization headers upstream, and receive cacheable responses with non-canonical qualified private or no-cache directives.

Patches

Upgrade to undici v7.28.0 or v8.5.0.

Workarounds

If upgrade is not immediately possible, disable shared-cache mode for traffic that includes Authorization headers, avoid caching responses to authenticated requests, or add Vary: Authorization upstream.

undici vulnerable to TLS certificate validation bypass via dropped requestTls in SOCKS5 ProxyAgent

CVE-2026-9697 / GHSA-vmh5-mc38-953g

More information

Details

Impact

undici's ProxyAgent silently drops the requestTls option when configured with a SOCKS5 proxy URI (socks5:// or socks://). The target HTTPS connection through the SOCKS5 tunnel falls back to Node's default trust store, ignoring user-configured ca, cert, key, rejectUnauthorized, and servername settings.

Applications that pin to an internal or corporate CA via requestTls.ca will, when their proxy URI is SOCKS5, get the default Mozilla CA bundle as the trust anchor instead. Any cert signed by any publicly-trusted CA for the target hostname is accepted, breaking the intended pin and enabling MITM read and tamper of the HTTPS exchange.

Affected applications are those that use undici's ProxyAgent (or Socks5ProxyAgent directly) with SOCKS5 AND rely on requestTls for TLS scope restriction. The bug was introduced in undici 7.23.0 when SOCKS5 support was added.

Patches

Upgrade to undici v7.28.0 or v8.5.0.

Workarounds

No workaround is available within the SOCKS5 path. If a SOCKS5 proxy with TLS scope restriction is required and an upgrade is not yet possible, route the traffic through an HTTP-proxy ProxyAgent instead, where requestTls is honored correctly.

Release Notes

nodejs/undici (undici)

v7.28.0

Compare Source

⚠️ Security Release

This release line addresses 7 security advisories, all shipped in v7.28.0.

Action required: Upgrade to undici 7.28.0 or later.

npm install undici@^7.28.0

The v7 line is not affected by GHSA-38rv-x7px-6hhq (CVE-2026-9675), which is
an 8.x-only regression.

Note on GHSA-hm92-r4w5-c3mj: this fix shipped in v7.28.0, not the
earlier 7.2x line — the vulnerable single-pool code was still present through
v7.27.2. The per-origin pool fix is
3805b8f8 (#​5041).

High severity

WebSocket DoS via fragment count bypass — CVE-2026-12151

GHSA-vxpw-j846-p89q · CWE-400, CWE-770
Fix: 8cb10f98 websocket: limit the number of fragments in a message (part of backport a027a4a0 Backport WebSocket maxPayloadSize fixes to v7.x, #​5423)

A malicious WebSocket server can stream a large number of small or empty
continuation frames. Undici enforced a limit on cumulative payload size but did
not limit the number of fragments per message, leading to unbounded memory
growth and denial of service.

• Affected: applications using new WebSocket(...) or WebSocketStream
  against untrusted endpoints.
• Workaround: none — upgrade is required.

TLS certificate validation bypass in SOCKS5 ProxyAgent — CVE-2026-9697

GHSA-vmh5-mc38-953g · CWE-295
Fix: 04201f89 fix: honor requestTls when proxy is SOCKS5 (#​5417)

The ProxyAgent silently discarded the requestTls option when configured with
a SOCKS5 proxy. TLS connections through the SOCKS5 tunnel ignored user-configured
parameters such as ca, cert, key, rejectUnauthorized, and servername,
falling back to the default Mozilla CA bundle. Applications relying on
certificate pinning to an internal CA were exposed to man-in-the-middle attacks.

• Affected: ProxyAgent / Socks5ProxyAgent over SOCKS5 that rely on
  requestTls.
• Workaround: route traffic through an HTTP-proxy ProxyAgent, where
  requestTls functions correctly.

Cross-origin request routing via SOCKS5 proxy pool reuse — CVE-2026-6734

GHSA-hm92-r4w5-c3mj · CWE-346
Fix: 3805b8f8 fix(socks5-proxy-agent): use per-origin pools to prevent cross-origin routing (#​5041)

Socks5ProxyAgent reused a single connection pool across different origins
without verifying the pool's origin matched the requested origin. This could
route credentials and request data to unintended destinations, cause responses
from the wrong origin to be trusted, and enable HTTPS→HTTP downgrade.

• Affected: applications using Socks5ProxyAgent across multiple origins
  (introduced in 7.23.0 via #​4385).
• Workaround: use a separate agent instance per origin.

Moderate severity

Cross-user information disclosure via shared cache whitespace bypass — CVE-2026-9678

GHSA-pr7r-676h-xcf6 · CWE-524
Fix: 85a24055 fix(cache): trim qualified field names

The cache interceptor mishandled responses with whitespace-padded
Cache-Control directives such as private=" authorization". In shared-cache
mode this could cause authenticated data to be cached and served to other users.

• Affected: apps using the cache interceptor in shared mode that forward
  Authorization upstream and receive non-canonical qualified directives.
• Workaround: disable shared-cache mode for authenticated traffic, avoid
  caching authenticated responses, or add Vary: Authorization upstream.

HTTP header injection via Set-Cookie percent-decoding — CVE-2026-9679

GHSA-p88m-4jfj-68fv · CWE-93
Fix: d0574cc4 fix(cookies): preserve values and parse SameSite strictly

parseSetCookie applied percent-decoding to cookie values, turning encoded
sequences like %0D%0A and %00 into literal bytes, contrary to RFC 6265 §5.4
and browser behavior. Applications forwarding parsed Set-Cookie values into
response headers were exposed to header injection, enabling session fixation,
open redirects, and cache poisoning. Introduced in 7.0.0 via
#​3789.

• Workaround: sanitize values before forwarding — strip or reject CR, LF,
  NUL, ;, and =.

Low severity

Set-Cookie SameSite attribute downgrade — CVE-2026-11525

GHSA-g8m3-5g58-fq7m · CWE-183
Fix: d0574cc4 fix(cookies): preserve values and parse SameSite strictly

The cookie parser accepted SameSite values containing Strict, Lax, or
None as substrings rather than requiring exact matches per RFC 6265. Values
like SameSite=NoneOfYourBusiness parsed as None, and SameSite=StrictLax
parsed as Lax, silently weakening cookie security policies for apps that
forward parsed attributes.

HTTP response queue poisoning via keep-alive socket reuse — CVE-2026-6733

GHSA-35p6-xmwp-9g52 · CWE-367 (TOCTOU race condition)
Fix: ea8930cf fix: guard idle socket validation to skip fresh sockets, hardened by 8e4046e4 keep idle validation on native timers (#​5402) and 0fa80869 keep idle validation on global timers (#​5409)

An attacker controlling an upstream HTTP/1.1 server could inject unsolicited
responses onto idle keep-alive sockets. On socket reuse, the injected response
was associated with a new request, delivering responses to the wrong requests.

• Requirements: attacker-controlled/compromised upstream and active
  keep-alive reuse.
• Workaround: disable keep-alive reuse with keepAliveTimeout: 0 on the
  Client or Pool.

Release contents & deliberate backports

v7.28.0 is a security-only release — every change in it is one of the fixes
above, backported to the v7.x maintenance line on purpose from the v8
development line:

• #5423 — backport of the WebSocket maxPayloadSize fragment-count / cumulative-size limits (CVE-2026-12151).
• #5402 & #5409 — backport of the idle-validation hardening (native + global timers) for the queue-poisoning fix (CVE-2026-6733).
• #5417 — requestTls over SOCKS5 fix (CVE-2026-9697).

The cookie (d0574cc4),
cache (85a24055) and
queue-poisoning core (ea8930cf)
fixes were applied directly to the v7.x branch. Full changelog:
v7.27.2...v7.28.0.
