Upgrade org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client to version 3.0.12 or higher.
Overview
org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client is a maven plugin for the Async Http Client (AHC) classes.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Detection of Error Condition Without Action via the SCRAM processScramAuthenticationInfo path and the Digest processAuthenticationInfo path in Interceptors.java. An attacker can impersonate a server and have the client accept an unauthenticated response by sending a valid handshake followed by a corrupted ServerSignature or rspauth value. In the affected code, those verification values were computed and logged on mismatch, but the response was still delivered to the application as a successful authentication result. This breaks the client’s ability to detect a peer that never proved knowledge of the shared secret, which can let a man-in-the-middle or impostor server complete the exchange and make the client trust a forged authenticated session.
