AI-suggested
Upgrade Axios to version 1.15.1 or later, or 0.31.1 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix is available.
Description
Axios versions prior to 1.15.1 and 0.31.1 contain a vulnerability where the maxBodyLength limit is bypassed for stream request bodies when maxRedirects is set to 0. This allows oversized streamed uploads to be sent fully despite strict body size limits configured by the caller. The issue is fixed in versions 1.15.1 and 0.31.1.
