Chainguard: hurl: security update to 8.1.0-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477684

Description

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

 - Hurl is a command line tool that runs and tests HTTP requests defined in plain text files. In version
 8.0.1 and earlier, the redirect handling in packages/hurl/src/http/client.rs strips Authorization and
 Cookie headers and basic-auth credentials when a redirect changes host, but it carries RequestSpec.cookies
 created from the dedicated [Cookies] section into the redirected request. An attacker-controlled redirect
 can therefore receive authentication or session cookies that should remain scoped to the original host.
 Cookies supplied through a raw Cookie header are stripped and are not affected by this specific path. This
 issue is reported as fixed in version 8.1.0. (CVE-2026-63481)

Solution

Update the hurl library and its related packages to version 8.1.0-r0 or later.
