SCA: security update for org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client (GHSA-rqf5-2wxv-rjf4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473885

Description

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

 - The AsyncHttpClient (AHC) library allows Java applications to easily execute HTTP requests and
 asynchronously process HTTP responses. Prior to 3.0.13 and 2.16.1, Realm.Builder treats a Digest challenge
 that yields no usable nonce as a Basic challenge. A malicious origin or proxy can label a challenge Digest
 while omitting or emptying the nonce, causing the client to resend the username and password using
 reversible Basic authentication. Both origin and proxy challenge parsers are affected. This issue is fixed
 in versions 3.0.13 and 2.16.1. (CVE-2026-107231)

Solution

Update the org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client library and its related packages to version 2.16.1 or later.
