CVE-2026-49853NVD

Vulnerability Summary

## Summary

When SimpleAsyncHTTPClient follows a 3xx redirect, it shallow-copies the original HTTPRequest, rewrites the URL, decrements max_redirects, and removes only the Host header. It does not clear Authorization, auth_username, auth_password, or auth_mode when the redirect target changes origin.

As a result, credentials intended for one origin can be forwarded to a different origin when follow_redirects=True, which is the default.

Beginning in Tornado 6.5.6, `SimpleAsyncHTTPClient` matches the default behavior of `libcurl` (and therefore `CurlAsyncHTTPClient`): When a redirect changes the scheme, host, or port of the url, the `Authorization` and `Cookie` headers will be removed when following the redirect.
