SCA: security update for org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client (GHSA-mfj3-87qq-382v)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473898

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 3.0.12 and 2.16.1, Realm.Builder generates the HTTP Digest
 client nonce with ThreadLocalRandom rather than a cryptographically secure random source. Digest relies on
 an unpredictable cnonce to resist chosen-plaintext and credential precomputation attacks, so an observer
 able to infer generator state can reduce the protection of the authentication exchange. This issue is
 fixed in versions 3.0.12 and 2.16.1. (CVE-2026-107283)

Solution

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