How to fix?

Upgrade org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client to version 3.0.14 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 Improper Authentication in the CookieStore process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to another user's session by exploiting the replacement of an explicitly set Cookie header with cookies from the shared store when making HTTP requests in a shared client context.

Note: The 2.x line is end of life and will not receive a fix.
