Upgrade org.webjars.npm:follow-redirects to version 1.15.6 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to the handling of the Proxy-Authorization header across hosts. When using a dependent library, it only clears the authorization header during cross-domain redirects but allows the proxy-authentication header, which contains credentials, to persist. This behavior may lead to the unintended leakage of credentials if an attacker can trigger a cross-domain redirect and capture the persistent proxy-authentication header.
PoC

'AuThorization': 'Rear Test',

'coOkie': 't=1'
}
}).then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
