CVE-2026-40175
Versions prior to 1.15.0 and 0.3.1 are vulnerable to a specific gadget-style attack chain in which prototype pollution in a third-party dependency may be leveraged to inject unsanitized header values into outbound requests.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.88%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
