Description Ganesh 2026-10-01 11:04:40 UTC 
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

http-cache-semantics through 4.2.0 fails to properly validate security-zeroed cache entries when processing client max-stale directives, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve cached responses belonging to other users. Attackers can request the same URL with a large max-stale value to obtain another user's Set-Cookie session credentials from shared-cache entries that were deliberately zeroed for security reasons.
Comment 1 Michel Lind 2026-10-06 11:57:12 UTC 
This CVE is in a JavaScript/NodeJS package; the JavaScript here is not shipped in the binary RPMs.
