AsyncHttpClient: Replay to a different host sends the original host request and credentials to the new host

GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client, org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.

The affected context

Affected versions, configuration prerequisites and known exclusions are public. Confirm each one against the deployed service.

org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client

source listed
  • >= 3.0.0, <= 3.0.12

### Impact When a request is replayed onto a different host, the client updates only the current request and leaves the target request pointing at the original host. Four consumers read that stale value, and each one sends the first host's request, credentials, or both to the second host. A replay happens through documented, ordinary features: a `ResponseFilter` that returns a different request, which is the supported failover pattern, and the IOException retry path. The attacker does not need to induce the replay; an application that uses failover produces it by design. * The socket to host B is filed in the connection pool under host A's key. A later request the application addresses to A is served over the connection to B, and A's `Authorization` header goes to B. * Over a CONNECT tunnel, the client tunnels to B and negotiates TLS with B correctly, then writes A's request into that tunnel. B receives A's path, A's `Host`, and A's `Authorization`. TLS does not protect against this, because the handshake really is with B, so no certificate mismatch occurs. * The replay reuses the original realm, so A's credentials are regenerated onto a replay request that carries no realm of it

What to do next

  1. investigate

    Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.

    Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.

Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.

04 / Limits

What this report cannot establish

  • Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
  • NVD lastModified does not establish freshness of every associated CPE record.
