follow-redirects is the redirect-following layer under axios and a large part of the Node HTTP ecosystem. We found two separate ways its cross-origin credential-header stripping control fails silently, one through a type assumption that the header container is always a plain object, and one through an incomplete regular-expression escaper. Both break the protection introduced to fix prior CVEs. Both were reported, accepted, assigned CVEs (CVE-2026-111756 and CVE-2026-111755), and fixed in 1.16.1.
