high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446036

Description

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

- http4k is a functional toolkit for Kotlin HTTP applications. Prior to 4.51.0.0, 5.42.0.0, and 6.50.0.0,
DigestAuthProvider.verify in http4k-security-digest does not compare the uri parameter in an
Authorization: Digest response with the actual request URL. An attacker who captures a valid Digest
authentication response can replay it against another URL served by the same realm, bypassing the per-
request-URI binding and potentially gaining unauthorized read or write access. This issue is fixed in
versions 4.51.0.0, 5.42.0.0, and 6.50.0.0. (CVE-2026-54148)

Solution

Update the org.http4k:http4k-security-digest library and its related packages to version 5.42.0.0 or later.
