Async Http Client
Monthly
Cookie tossing in AsyncHttpClient (AHC) library allows a malicious HTTP server to plant cookies scoped to an unrelated trusted domain, affecting versions 2.0.0-2.15.x and 3.0.0.Beta1-3.0.10. ThreadSafeCookieStore accepts and stores a cookie's Domain attribute value without verifying that the responding host is authorised to set cookies for that domain, so any server the client contacts can inject a cookie that AHC will automatically forward to the targeted domain on subsequent requests. Java applications sharing a single AHC instance - and therefore its default shared CookieStore - across calls to both attacker-influenced and trusted hosts are the primary attack surface; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and vendor-released fixes are available in 2.16.0 and 3.0.11.
