⭐ Starred 204 / LWP::MemberMixin
Security Advisories (1)
CVE-2026-8368 (2026-05-12)

LWP::UserAgent versions before 6.83 for Perl leak Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers on cross-origin redirects. On a 3xx response, the redirect handler strips only Host and Cookie before issuing the follow-up request. Caller-supplied Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers are sent unchanged to the redirect target, including across scheme, host, or port changes. A redirect to an attacker controlled host therefore discloses the caller's credentials to that host.

NAME

LWP::MemberMixin - Member access mixin class

SYNOPSIS

package Foo;
use parent qw(LWP::MemberMixin);

DESCRIPTION

A mixin class to get methods that provide easy access to member variables in the %$self. Ideally there should be better Perl language support for this.

METHODS

There is only one method provided:

_elem

_elem($elem [, $val])

Internal method to get/set the value of member variable $elem. If $val is present it is used as the new value for the member variable. If it is not present the current value is not touched. In both cases the previous value of the member variable is returned.
