Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected Credentials in the DefaultHttpClient process, which follows redirects and forwards sensitive headers such as Authorization, Cookie, and Proxy-Authorization to redirect targets across domain boundaries. An attacker can obtain confidential information by inducing a redirect to a domain they control, causing the client to forward these sensitive headers.
