Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS2023-2026-3194
Advisory Released Date: 2026-10-12
Advisory Updated Date: 2026-10-12
HTTP::Tiny versions before 0.095 for Perl forward credential headers to cross-origin redirect targets.
When the server returns a 3xx redirect, `_maybe_redirect` follows the `Location:` header and `_prepare_headers_and_cb` re-merges the caller's `headers` argument into the new request, without checking whether the redirect target shares an origin with the original URL. Caller-supplied `Authorization`, `Cookie` and `Proxy-Authorization` headers are therefore re-sent to whatever host the redirect names, across scheme, host or port boundaries, and including `https` to `http` downgrades that expose them in plaintext on the wire.
The HTTP::Tiny POD note that "Authorization headers will not be included in a redirected request" applied only to the URL-userinfo Basic-auth path, not to headers passed explicitly by the caller. (CVE-2026-7017)
Affected Packages:
perl-HTTP-Tiny
