title: redact additional sensitive/risky headers when following redirects
date: 2026-06-03
description: |
## Impact

The redirect follower middleware previously failed to strip a number of
headers that are known to be sensitive and did not provide a way to
provide a custom list of headers to strip.

## What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

This could cause inadvertent leakage of sensitive data for users of the
RedirectFollower middleware in cases where the initial request includes
header information that is not intended for the new target.

## Patches

Patch exists and is released in v1.5.0

## Workarounds

Users can backport the fix (commit below) to a custom
redirect follower middleware.
