Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

CVE-2026-44488

Severity High
Score 7.5/10

Summary

Axios versions `1.7.0` through `1.15.x` did not enforce configured request and response size limits when requests were sent with the `fetch` adapter. Applications that selected `adapter: 'fetch'`, or ran in environments where axios resolved to the fetch adapter, could receive or send bodies larger than `maxContentLength` or `maxBodyLength` despite those limits being explicitly configured.
