Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA and GitHub. Impact type from CWE-319.

Summary

Affected are async-http-client 3.0.0 before 3.0.13 and 2.0.0 before 2.16.1. Cross-host request replay updates the current request but leaves the target request and proxy context on the original host (CWE-441). Connection pool, CONNECT and TLS handling can then send the original host's path, Host header, Authorization credentials or plaintext request to the replay destination. An unauthenticated remote attacker needs no user interaction, though the attack is complex.

Description from the CNA

The AsyncHttpClient (AHC) library allows Java applications to easily execute HTTP requests and asynchronously process HTTP responses. Prior to 3.0.13 and 2.16.1, cross-host request replay updates the current request but leaves the target request and related proxy context pointing at the original origin. Connection-pool selection, CONNECT handling, realm selection, and TLS setup can consequently send the original host's path, Host header, Authorization credentials, or plaintext request to the replay destination. Documented ResponseFilter failover and retry paths can trigger the replay. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.13 and 2.16.1.
