SCA: security update for org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client (GHSA-jmqq-x5g9-9p2w)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473899

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, cross-host request replay updates the
current request but leaves the target request and related proxy context pointing at the original origin.
Connection-pool selection, CONNECT handling, realm selection, and TLS setup can consequently send the
original host's path, Host header, Authorization credentials, or plaintext request to the replay
destination. Documented ResponseFilter failover and retry paths can trigger the replay. This issue is
fixed in versions 3.0.13 and 2.16.1. (CVE-2026-107282)

Solution

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