Improper Input Validation due to the improper handling of URLs by the url.parse()
CVE: CVE-2023-26159
Component: follow-redirects
CWE: CWE-20
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 6.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Release date: 2023-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

An Improper Input Validation flaw was found in follow-redirects due to the improper handling of URLs by the url.parse() function. When a new URL() throws an error, it can be manipulated to misinterpret the hostname. This issue could allow an attacker to redirect traffic to a malicious site, potentially leading to information disclosure, phishing attacks, or other security breaches.

Statement: follow-redirects is a transitive dependency of Grafana, and does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
