Upgrade io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-http to version 1.2.18, 1.3.6 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information via HTTP redirect handling in the HTTP client. An attacker can obtain sensitive credentials by causing a client configured to automatically follow redirects to follow a redirect from a secure HTTPS endpoint to an insecure HTTP endpoint, resulting in the disclosure of authentication information over an unencrypted connection.
Note: This is only exploitable if the Reactor Netty HTTP client has been explicitly configured to follow redirects.
