Routine

HIGH 7.4UPGRADE

CVE-2026-116592 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.4) affecting undici. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

undici is an HTTP client for Node.js. In versions 7.30.1 and 8.12.2 through 8.12.3, when an originless Agent composes the redirect and shared cache interceptors, undici decides whether to store the final response under the original request key by inspecting only the final redirect hop, which bypasses the earlier fix for CVE-2026-109829 that compared only the initial and final origins. A redirect that bounces through an untrusted origin and return

Why this priority

High severity

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 7.30.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison undici sudo apt install undici=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.30.1> sudo apt-mark hold undici

dnf --showduplicates list undici sudo dnf downgrade undici-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.30.1> sudo dnf versionlock add undici

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
