CVE-2026-34226

Summary

happy-dom may attach cookies from the current page origin (window.location) instead of the request target URL when fetch(..., { credentials: "include" }) is used. This can leak cookies from origin A to destination B.

Details

In packages/happy-dom/src/fetch/utilities/FetchRequestHeaderUtility.ts (getRequestHeaders()), cookie selection is performed with originURL:

const originURL = new URL(options.window.location.href);
const isCORS = FetchCORSUtility.isCORS(originURL, options.request[PropertySymbol.url]);
// ...
const cookies = options.browserFrame.page.context.cookieContainer.getCookies(
  originURL,
  false
);

Here, originURL represents the page URL, not the request destination URL. For outgoing requests, cookie lookup should use the request URL (for example: new URL(options.request[PropertySymbol.url])).

Environment:

1. Node.js >= 22
2. happy-dom 20.6.1
3. DNS names resolving to local loopback via *.127.0.0.1.nip.io

Reproduction steps:

1. Set page host cookie: page_cookie=PAGE_ONLY on a.127.0.0.1.nip.io
2. Set target host cookie: api_cookie=API_ONLY on b.127.0.0.1.nip.io
3. From page host, call fetch to target host with credentials: "include"
4. Observe Cookie header received by the target host

Expected:

1. Include api_cookie=API_ONLY
2. Do not include page_cookie=PAGE_ONLY

Actual (observed):

1. Includes page_cookie=PAGE_ONLY
2. Does not include api_cookie=API_ONLY

Observed output:

=== PoC: Wrong Cookie Source URL in credentials:include ===
Setup:
  Page Origin Host : a.127.0.0.1.nip.io
  Request Target Host: b.127.0.0.1.nip.io
  (both resolve to 127.0.0.1 via public wildcard DNS)

Expected:
  Request to target host should include "api_cookie=API_ONLY".
  Request should NOT include "page_cookie=PAGE_ONLY".

Actual:
  request cookie header: "page_cookie=PAGE_ONLY"
  includes page_cookie: true
  includes api_cookie : false

Result: VULNERABLE behavior reproduced.

Impact

Cross-origin sensitive information disclosure (cookie leakage).
Impacted users are applications relying on happy-dom browser-like fetch behavior in authenticated/session-based flows (for example SSR/test/proxy-like scenarios), where cookies from one origin can be sent to another origin.
