Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE- SU-2026:21529-1 advisory.

 Changes in perl-HTTP-Tiny:

 - updated to 0.096
 - CVE-2026-7017: Fixed forwarded credential headers to cross-origin redirect targets (bsc#1271020)
 - Caller-supplied Authorization, Cookie, and Proxy-Authorization headers are now stripped on cross-origin redirects by default. Use allow_credentialed_redirects to opt out.
 - Redirects are no longer automatically followed when going from https to http.
 Use allow_downgrade to revert to the original behaviour.
