SCA: security update for org.http4s:http4s-ember-core_2.12, org.http4s:http4s-ember-core_2.13, org.http4s:http4s-ember-core_3 (GHSA-9xww-74xv-gjfp)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448002

Description

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

- Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, DigestAuth replay
protection records lastNc plus one instead of the highest nonce-count value it has accepted. When a
legitimate client sends noncontiguous nc values because of parallel or retried requests, the stored
counter remains below the accepted maximum, allowing a passive observer to replay a captured Authorization
header multiple times. Successful replays execute authenticated requests, including state-changing
operations, as the captured user. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47. (CVE-2026-69206)

Solution

Update the org.http4s:http4s-ember-core_2.12 library and its related packages to version 0.23.35 or later.
