http4k: `DigestAuthProvider.verify` did not bind to request URI
Quick fix
GHSA-p28p-j94q-pg32 — org.http4k:http4k-security-digest: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>6.50.0.0</version> for org.http4k:http4k-security-digest Details
### 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 [enterprise@http4k.org](mailto:enterprise@http4k.org) (if Digest auth is present in your v5.x line) | | v4.x (LTS) | **4.51.0.0** | Enterprise — contact [enterprise@http4k.org](mailto:enterprise@http4k.org) (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.
