      <title>GHSA-cmxv-58fp-fm3g — AsyncHttpClient leaks authorization credentials to untrusted domains on cross-origin redirects</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-cmxv-58fp-fm3g</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Maven: org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact
When redirect following is enabled (followRedirect(true)), AsyncHttpClient forwards Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers along with Realm credentials to arbitrary redirect targets regardless of domain, scheme, or port changes. This leaks credentials on cross-domain redirects and HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, even when stripAuthorizationOnRedirect is set to true, the Realm object containing plaintext credentials is still propagated to the redirect request, causing credential re-generation for Basic and Digest authentication schemes via NettyRequestFactory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An attacker who controls a redirect target (via open redirect, DNS rebinding, or MITM on HTTP) can capture Bearer tokens, Basic auth credentials, or any other Authorization header value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Patches
Fixed in version 3.0.9 or 2.14.5. Users should upgrade immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fix automatically strips Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers and clears Realm credentials whenever a redirect crosses origin boundaries (different scheme, host, or port) or downgrades from HTTPS to HTTP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Workarounds
For users unable to upgrade, set (stripAuthorizationOnRedirect(true)) in the client config and avoid using Realm-based authentication with redirect following enabled. Note that (stripAuthorizationOnRedirect(true)) alone is insufficient on versions prior to 3.0.9 or 2.14.5 because the Realm bypass still re-generates credentials.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, disable redirect following (followRedirect(false)) and…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
