SCA: security update for org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client (GHSA-f9m8-cv68-674w)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473896

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. Prior to 3.0.13 and 2.16.1, ThreadSafeCookieStore validates Domain
 attributes with domain matching but does not reject public suffixes. A host beneath a suffix such as co.uk
 can set a cookie for that suffix, after which the shared cookie store sends it to unrelated hosts under
 the suffix. This can inject or overwrite session-relevant cookie values across origins. This issue is
 fixed in versions 3.0.13 and 2.16.1. (CVE-2026-107280)

Solution

Update the org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client library and its related packages to version 2.16.1 or later.
