SCA: security update for org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client (GHSA-2jwh-9rmr-j4xf)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473881

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The AsyncHttpClient (AHC) library allows Java applications to easily execute HTTP requests and
 asynchronously process HTTP responses. From 2.1.0 until 3.0.14, the enabled-by-default cookie store
 replaces a Cookie header explicitly supplied through setHeader or addHeader whenever the store contributes
 any cookie for the origin. In a shared client, stored cookies originating from one user can replace a
 different user's request cookie, causing the request to execute under the wrong session. This bypasses the
 earlier CVE-2024-53990 remediation, which covered cookies supplied through addCookie but not a directly
 supplied header. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.14. (CVE-2026-107228)

Solution

Update the org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client library and its related packages to version 3.0.14 or later.
