What is CVE-2023-45857?

A flaw in Axios version 1.5.1 inadvertently allows the confidential XSRF-TOKEN, stored in cookies, to be included in the HTTP header X-XSRF-TOKEN for all outgoing requests. This misconfiguration can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, as attackers could exploit this mechanism to retrieve confidential data from affected applications.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
