SCA: security update for org.http4k:http4k-security-digest (GHSA-vxxm-wwqh-mh47)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446041

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 ignores its configured algorithm parameter and
 verifies every Digest response with hardcoded MD5. Deployments configured for SHA-256 therefore receive
 weaker MD5-based verification, exposing Digest authentication to collision-related attack paths that
 depend on the hash function's collision resistance. This issue is fixed in versions 4.51.0.0, 5.42.0.0,
 and 6.50.0.0. (CVE-2026-54147)

Solution

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