Description

Impact An issue in `DigestAuthProvider.verify`: The `uri` parameter in the client's `Authorization: Digest …` response was not checked against the actual request URL. A captured Digest authentication response could be replayed against any other URL served by the same realm, breaking the per-request-URL binding the Digest scheme assumes. Who is affected: any application using `http4k-security-digest` for HTTP Digest authentication. The bug has been present since `DigestAuthProvider` was introduced (commit `8a52b615b1`, 2021). Patches | Line | Fixed in | Edition | |------|----------|---------| | v6.x (Community) | 6.50.0.0 | Community | | v5.x (LTS) | 5.42.0.0 | Enterprise — contact [email protected] (if Digest auth is present in your v5.x line) | | v4.x (LTS) | 4.51.0.0 | Enterprise — contact [email protected] (if Digest auth is present in your v4.x line) | The fix: • Rejects credentials whose `uri` parameter does not match the request URL. Workarounds For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately: • URI binding gap: place Digest auth behind a reverse proxy that pins requests to a single URL. References • Vulnerability first present: `8a52b615b1` • URI binding fix: `725f1b9697` • Fix release: v6.50.0.0 • Background: RFC 7616 — HTTP Digest Access Authentication
