Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, The FollowRedirect client middleware strips Authorization and Cookie headers only when a redirect changes authority, but authority comparison excludes the URI scheme. A same-authority redirect from HTTPS to HTTP therefore preserves credentials and transmits them over a plaintext connection. An attacker who can induce the downgrade and observe the network can capture those sensitive headers from applications using FollowRedirect. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.
AnalysisAI
The FollowRedirect client middleware in http4s strips Authorization and Cookie headers only when a redirect crosses to a different authority, ignoring URI scheme changes; a same-host redirect from HTTPS to HTTP therefore re-sends credentials in cleartext over the network. Applications using http4s client versions prior to 0.23.35 or 1.0.0-M47 and following attacker-influenced redirects can leak bearer tokens, basic-auth credentials, and session cookies to anyone able to observe the plaintext connection. …
