  • LWP::UserAgent now strips Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers
    on cross-origin redirects (a different scheme, host, or port) to prevent
    credential leakage to the redirect target. Same-origin redirects retain
    credentials. Opt out with allow_credentialed_redirects => 1.
    CVE-2026-8368 reported by Kai Zen; PoC and initial patch by Stig
    Palmquist.
  • LWP::UserAgent now refuses https to http redirects by default to prevent
    leaking remaining request headers and bodies over plaintext. Opt in with
    allow_downgrade => 1. Related hardening alongside CVE-2026-8368; PoC by
    Stig Palmquist.
