highCVSS 8.1Vulnerability

CVE-2026-54148

### 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]](mailto:[email protected]) (if Digest auth is present in your v5.x line) | | v4.x (LTS) | **4.51.0.0** | Enterprise — contact [[email protected]](mailto:[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`](https://github.com/http4k/http4k/commit/8a52b615b1) - URI binding fix: [`725f1b9697`](https://github.com/http4k/http4k/commit/725f1b9697) - Fix release: [v6.50.0.0](https://github.com/http4k/http4k/releases/tag/6.50.0.0) - Background: [RFC 7616 — HTTP Digest Access Authentication](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7616)
