[snyk-io]

This is a minor version upgrade that includes security hardening and behavioral changes that may require verification.

Behavioral Changes:

• Redirect Header Safety: In Node.js, sensitive headers specified by the caller may now be stripped on cross-origin redirects to prevent leakage of API keys or authentication tokens.
• URL Hardening: Malformed http: and https: URLs that are missing // will now be rejected with an ERR_INVALID_URL error.
• validateStatus Semantics: A new transitional option, validateStatusUndefinedResolves, has been added. This allows applications to opt-in to treating validateStatus: undefined as if the option was omitted.

Recommendation:
Review application logic related to cross-origin redirects, especially if custom sensitive headers are used. Ensure all URLs passed to Axios are well-formed. Test validateStatus behavior if your application relies on its specific handling.
