Live › vulnerability › CVE-2026-40175
Go to dashboardAxios, a JavaScript HTTP client used in browsers and Node.js, has a prototype pollution flaw that lets an attacker inject properties into the global object prototype. The sources say this can crash the application or execute unauthorized code, depending on how the application is structured.
Summary written from the sources below. Check the originals before acting.

Applications that bundle or run an axios version in the affected ranges, in the browser or on Node.js. The sources say exposure depends on application structure, and they do not name a specific code path or input that triggers it. Projects already on 0.31.0 or 1.15.0 or later are outside the listed ranges.
| Product | Ecosystem | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| axios | vendor | < 0.31.0 | 0.31.0 |
| axios | vendor | >= 1.0.0, < 1.15.0 | 1.15.0 |
npm ls axios in each project and check the resolved version.axios below 0.31.0, and axios from 1.0.0 up to but not including 1.15.0.package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml) for transitive copies of axios.0.31.0 on the 0.x line or 1.15.0 on the 1.x line.Each row is the first time that source carried this signal.

WAF Release - 2026-06-09 · Changelog
New updates and improvements at Cloudflare.
June 9, 2026
This release introduces new detections for a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Drupal installations utilizing PostgreSQL (CVE-2026-9082), alongside targeted protection for an unsafe deserialization flaw in the Mirasvit Cache Warmer extension (CVE-2026-45247). Additionally, this release includes coverage for a prototype pollution vector in Axios (CVE-2026-40175) and a new generic rule designed to identify and block sophisticated SQL Injection (SQLi) bypass attempts leveraging obfuscated boolean logic.
Key Findings
Impact
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, manipulate database contents, or induce application crashes, leading to severe operational disruption or complete server compromise. These newly deployed signatures intercept these advanced malicious payloads at the edge before they can interact with vulnerable software configurations.
