axios vulnerability

What happened

Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 1.15.1 and 0.31.1, toFormData recursively walks nested objects with no depth limit, so a deeply nested value passed as request data crashes the Node.js process with a RangeError. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1 and 0.31.1.

Affected versions

axios: >= 1.0.0, < 1.15.1; < 0.31.1 Fixed: See vendor advisory.
