CVE-2026-49853
CVE-2026-49853 · Tornado: Authorization header forwarded across cross-origin redirects in SimpleAsyncHTTPClient
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, SimpleAsyncHTTPClient shallow-copied redirected requests and removed only the Host header, leaving Authorization, auth_username, auth_password, and auth_mode in place when a redirect changed scheme, host, or port. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.6.
