CVE-2026-42040 (GCVE-0-2026-42040)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-24 17:40 – Updated: 2026-04-27 13:48
VLAI
Title
Axios: Null Byte Injection via Reverse-Encoding in AxiosURLSearchParams
Summary
Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 1.15.1 and 0.31.1, the encode() function in lib/helpers/AxiosURLSearchParams.js contains a character mapping (charMap) at line 21 that reverses the safe percent-encoding of null bytes. After encodeURIComponent('\x00') correctly produces the safe sequence %00, the charMap entry '%00': '\x00' converts it back to a raw null byte. Primary impact is limited because the standard axios request flow is not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1 and 0.31.1.

After encodeURIComponent(\u0027\\x00\u0027) correctly produces the safe sequence %00, the charMap entry \u0027%00\u0027: \u0027\\x00\u0027 converts it back to a raw null byte. Primary impact is limited because the standard axios request flow is not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1 and 0.31.1."

CVE-2026-42579 (GCVE-0-2026-42579)

Title
Netty: DNS Codec Input Validation Bypass in Netty (Encoder + Decoder)
Summary
Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, Netty's DNS codec does not enforce RFC 1035 domain name constraints during either encoding or decoding. This creates a bidirectional attack surface: malicious DNS responses can exploit the decoder, and user-influenced hostnames can exploit the encoder. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final.
