Release notes
Package name: axios
  • 1.16.0 - 2026-05-02

    v1.16.0 — May 2, 2026

    This release adds support for the QUERY HTTP method and a new ECONNREFUSED error constant, lands a substantial wave of HTTP, fetch, and XHR adapter bug fixes around redirects, aborts, headers, and timeouts, and welcomes 23 new contributors.

    ⚠️ Notable Changes

    A handful of fixes in this release are either security-adjacent or change observable behaviour. Please review before upgrading:

    • Fetch adapter now enforces maxBodyLength and maxContentLength. These limits were silently ignored on the fetch adapter prior to 1.16.0 — anyone relying on them as a safety net (DoS protection, accidental large uploads) had no protection. (#10795)
    • Proxy requests now preserve user-supplied Host headers. Previously, the proxy path could overwrite a custom Host. Virtual-host-style routing through a proxy will now behave correctly. (#10822)
    • Basic auth credentials embedded in URLs are now URL-decoded. If you have percent-encoded credentials in a URL (e.g. https://user:p%40ss@host), the decoded value is what now goes on the wire. (#10825)
    • parseProtocol now strictly requires a colon in the protocol separator. Strings that loosely parsed as protocols before may no longer match. (#10729)
    • Deprecated unescape() replaced with modern UTF-8 encoding. Non-ASCII URL handling is now spec-correct; consumers depending on legacy unescape() quirks may see different output bytes. (#7378)
    • transformRequest input typing change was reverted. The typing change introduced in #10745 was reverted in #10810 after follow-up review — net behavior is unchanged from 1.15.2. (#10745, #10810)

    🚀 New Features

    • QUERY HTTP Method: Added support for the QUERY HTTP method across adapters and type definitions. (#10802)
    • ECONNREFUSED Error Constant: Exposed ECONNREFUSED as a constant on AxiosError so callers can match connection-refused failures without comparing string literals (closes #6485). (#10680)
    • Encode Helper Export: Exported the internal encode helper from buildURL so userland param serializers can reuse the same encoding logic that axios uses internally. (#6897)

    🐛 Bug Fixes

    • HTTP Adapter — Redirects & Headers: Cleared stale headers when a redirect targets a no-proxy host, fixed the redirect listener chain so listeners no longer stack across hops, restored the missing requestDetails argument on beforeRedirect, preserved user-supplied Host headers when forwarding through a proxy, and properly URL-decoded basic auth credentials. (#10794, #10800, #6241, #10822, #10825)
    • HTTP Adapter — Streams & Timeouts: Preserved the partial response object on AxiosError when a stream is aborted after headers arrive, honoured the timeout option during the connect phase when redirects are disabled, and resolved an unsettled-promise hang when an aborted request was combined with compression and maxRedirects: 0. (#10708, #10819, #7149)
    • Fetch Adapter: Enforced maxBodyLength / maxContentLength in the fetch adapter, set the User-Agent header to match the HTTP adapter, preserved the original abort reason instead of replacing it with a generic error, and deferred global access so importing the module no longer throws a TypeError in restricted environments. (#10795, #10772, #10806, #7260)
    • XHR Adapter: Unsubscribed the cancelToken and AbortSignal listeners on the error, timeout, and abort code paths to prevent leaked subscriptions. (#10787)
    • Error Handling: Attached the parsed response to AxiosError when JSON.parse fails inside dispatchRequest, prevented settle from emitting undefined error codes, and tightened the parseProtocol regex to require a colon in the protocol separator. (#10724, #7276, #10729)
    • Types & Exports: Aligned the CommonJS CancelToken typings with the ESM build, fixed a compiler error caused by RawAxiosHeaders, and re-exported create from the package index. (#7414, #6389, #6460)
    • UTF-8 Encoding: Replaced the deprecated unescape() call with a modern UTF-8 encoding implementation. (#7378)
    • Misc Cleanup: Resolved a batch of small inconsistencies and gadget-level issues across the codebase. (#10833)

    🔧 Maintenance & Chores

    • Refactor — ES6 Modernisation: Modernised the utils module and XHR adapter to use ES6 features, and tidied the multipart boundary error message. (#10588, #7419)
    • Tests: Hardened the HTTP test server lifecycle to fix flaky FormData EPIPE failures, fixed Win32 platform support for the pipe tests, and corrected an incorrect test assumption. (#10820, #10791, #10796)
    • Docs: Documented paramsSerializer.encode for strict RFC 3986 query encoding, updated the parseReviver TypeScript definitions and configuration docs for ES2023, added timeout guidance to the README's first async example, and expanded notes around the recent type changes. (#10821, #10782, #10759, #10804)
    • Reverted: Reverted the transformRequest input typing change from #10745 after follow-up review. (#10745, #10810)
    • Dependencies: Bumped actions/setup-node, the github-actions group, and postcss (in /docs) to their latest versions. (#10785, #10813, #10814)
    • Release: Updated changelog and packages, and prepared the 1.16.0 release. (#10790, #10834)

    Full Changelog

  • 1.15.2 - 2026-04-21

    This release delivers prototype-pollution hardening for the Node HTTP adapter, adds an opt-in allowedSocketPaths allowlist to mitigate SSRF via Unix domain sockets, fixes a keep-alive socket memory leak, and ships supply-chain hardening across CI and security docs.

    🔒 Security Fixes

    • Prototype Pollution Hardening (HTTP Adapter): Hardened the Node HTTP adapter and resolveConfig/mergeConfig/validator paths to read only own properties and use null-prototype config objects, preventing polluted auth, baseURL, socketPath, beforeRedirect, and insecureHTTPParser from influencing requests. (#10779)
    • SSRF via socketPath: Rejects non-string socketPath values and adds an opt-in allowedSocketPaths config option to restrict permitted Unix domain socket paths, returning AxiosError ERR_BAD_OPTION_VALUE on mismatch. (#10777)
    • Supply-chain Hardening: Added .npmrc with ignore-scripts=true, lockfile lint CI, non-blocking reproducible build diff, scoped CODEOWNERS, expanded SECURITY.md/THREATMODEL.md with provenance verification (npm audit signatures), 60-day resolution policy, and maintainer incident-response runbook. (#10776)

    🚀 New Features

    • allowedSocketPaths Config Option: New request config option (and TypeScript types) to allowlist Unix domain socket paths used by the Node http adapter; backwards compatible when unset. (#10777)

    🐛 Bug Fixes

    • Keep-alive Socket Memory Leak: Installs a single per-socket error listener tracking the active request via kAxiosSocketListener/kAxiosCurrentReq, eliminating per-request listener accumulation, MaxListenersExceededWarning, and linear heap growth under concurrent or long-running keep-alive workloads (fixes #10780). (#10788)

    🔧 Maintenance & Chores

    • Changelog: Updated CHANGELOG.md with v1.15.1 release notes. (#10781)

Merge Risk: Medium

This is a minor version upgrade with several notable changes that could affect behavior in specific use cases, warranting verification.

Notable Changes:

  • Behavioral Change: The fetch adapter now correctly enforces maxBodyLength and maxContentLength, which was previously ignored. Requests that were previously succeeding with large payloads using the fetch adapter may now fail.
  • Behavioral Change: Proxy requests will now preserve a user-supplied Host header, which could previously be overwritten. This corrects behavior for virtual-host-style routing through a proxy.
  • Reverted Feature: Support for passing a URL object as config.url has been reverted due to regressions. Code relying on this recently added feature will need to be adjusted.

Recommendation:
Review code that uses the fetch adapter with large payloads or relies on specific proxy Host header behavior. If you recently adopted using URL objects for the request URL, revert to using a string. Given these behavioral changes, testing is recommended after the upgrade.
