• CVE-2022-31090: 1.92% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 79.88 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact Authorization headers on requests are sensitive information. When using our Curl handler, it is possible to use the CURLOPTHTTPAUTH option to specify an Authorization header. On making a request which responds with a redirect to a URI with a different origin, if we choose to follow it, we should remove the CURLOPTHTTPAUTH and CURLOPTUSERPWD options before continuing, stopping curl from appending the Authorization header to the new request. Previously, we would only consider a change in host. Now, we consider any change in host, port or scheme to be a change in origin. Patches Affected Guzzle 7 users should upgrade to Guzzle 7.4.5 as soon as possible. Affected users using any earlier series of Guzzle should upgrade to Guzzle 6.5.8 or 7.4.5. Note that a partial fix was implemented in Guzzle 7.4.2, where a change in host would trigger removal of the curl-added Authorization header, however this earlier fix did not cover change in scheme or change in port.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-31090

Advisory: CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH option not cleared on change of origin
IDs: CVE-2022-31090, GHSA-25mq-v84q-4j7r
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-31090 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:06 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: guzzlehttp/guzzle 7.4.5, 6.5.8. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist guzzlehttp/guzzle: affected < 6.5.8; >= 7.0.0, < 7.4.5; fixed in 7.4.5, 6.5.8

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist guzzlehttp/guzzle: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on guzzlehttp/guzzle.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
