Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for node-follow-redirects.

CVE-2026-40895[0]:
| follow-redirects is an open source, drop-in replacement for Node's
| `http` and `https` modules that automatically follows redirects.
| Prior to 1.16.0, when an HTTP request follows a cross-domain
| redirect (301/302/307/308), follow-redirects only strips
| authorization, proxy-authorization, and cookie headers (matched by
| regex at index.js). Any custom authentication header (e.g., X-API-
| Key, X-Auth-Token, Api-Key, Token) is forwarded verbatim to the
| redirect target. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.0.
