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-6m4x-pp6q-5jmm)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448003

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, Ember’s HTTP/2 flow-control
 window is replenished according to bytes received from the network rather than bytes consumed by the
 application, while each stream stores DATA in an unbounded channel. A hostile peer can therefore send a
 body faster than a slow or non-draining application consumes it, retaining payloads in heap on an ember-
 server or ember-client configured with withHttp2. The patch bounds the per-stream H2Connection body
 channel so application consumption applies backpressure. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and
 1.0.0-M47. (CVE-2026-69202)

Solution

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