### Impact `ServerFilters.DigestAuth` and the underlying `DigestAuthProvider` both defaulted their `nonceVerifier` parameter to `{ true }` — i.e. every nonce was accepted regardless of value, age, or prior use. Any deployment using the default configuration had **no replay protection** on Digest authentication; a captured `Authorization: Digest …` response could be replayed indefinitely against the same protected resource. The nonce-verification mechanism in Digest auth is the primary anti-replay control — without it, Digest reduces to a credential bound only to a stale nonce string. **Who is affected:** any application using `ServerFilters.DigestAuth` or `DigestAuthProvider` with the default `nonceVerifier`. The broken default has been present since `DigestAuthProvider` was introduced (2021). Exploitation requires the attacker to first capture a valid Digest response (network observation, log access, etc.) — non-trivial in modern TLS deployments but not impossible. Anyone running Digest auth with default config should treat upgrade as urgent. ### Patches | Line | Fixed in | Edition | |------|----------|---------| | v6.x (Community) | **6.48.0.0** | 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 (`[Break]`) removes the default value for `nonceVerifier` from both `ServerFilters.DigestAuth` and `DigestAuthProvider`. Callers must now supply a real verifier explicitly — the broken default cannot be silently inherited. ### Workarounds For deployments that cannot upgrade immediately: explicitly supply a `nonceVerifier` that tracks issued nonces, enforces a TTL, and rejects re-use. Do not rely on the default.
