CVE-2026-49336
Fix: microsoft/kiota-typescript@09f8bd9CVE-2026-49336 is a CWE-178 vulnerability in @microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-49336 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary: Bearer token and Cookie leak across origin on redirect due to case-mismatched scrub in fetchRequestAdapter
Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.

@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrarynpmDescription
@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary provides TypeScript libraries for Kiota-generated API clients. In versions 1.0.0-preview.97 through 1.0.0-preview.101, @microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary's RedirectHandler is documented as stripping Authorization and Cookie from cross-origin redirect targets, but the default scrubSensitiveHeaders callback in RedirectHandlerOptions uses case-sensitive property deletion (delete headers.Authorization, delete headers.Cookie) on a headers object that FetchRequestAdapter.getRequestFromRequestInformation has already lower-cased. The delete therefore targets keys that do not exist, the scrub is a no-op, and any Bearer token or Cookie attached by a kiota-generated SDK is forwarded to an attacker-controlled host across a 30x redirect. This is reachable in the default middleware chain (MiddlewareFactory.getDefaultMiddlewares) with no custom configuration, and applies to every kiota-generated TypeScript SDK that uses BaseBearerTokenAuthenticationProvider or any other authentication provider that sets the Authorization request header. Version 1.0.0-preview.102 patches the issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update @microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary to 1.0.0-preview.102 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-49336 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-49336 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-49336. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
