Sensitive headers incorrectly sent after cross-domain redirect in net/http

GO-2025-3420 · BIT-golang-2024-45336 · CVE-2024-45336

Published · Modified

Description

The HTTP client drops sensitive headers after following a cross-domain redirect. For example, a request to a.com/ containing an Authorization header which is redirected to b.com/ will not send that header to b.com.

In the event that the client received a subsequent same-domain redirect, however, the sensitive headers would be restored. For example, a chain of redirects from a.com/, to b.com/1, and finally to b.com/2 would incorrectly send the Authorization header to b.com/2.
