Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for node-axios.

CVE-2025-58754[0]:
| Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.
| When Axios prior to version 1.11.0 runs on Node.js and is given a
| URL with the `data:` scheme, it does not perform HTTP. Instead, its
| Node http adapter decodes the entire payload into memory
| (`Buffer`/`Blob`) and returns a synthetic 200 response. This path
| ignores `maxContentLength` / `maxBodyLength` (which only protect
| HTTP responses), so an attacker can supply a very large `data:` URI
| and cause the process to allocate unbounded memory and crash (DoS),
| even if the caller requested `responseType: 'stream'`. Version
| 1.11.0 contains a patch for the issue.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
