{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231","details":"The AsyncHttpClient (AHC) library allows Java applications to easily execute HTTP requests and asynchronously process HTTP responses. Prior to 3.0.13 and 2.16.1, Realm.Builder treats a Digest challenge that yields no usable nonce as a Basic challenge. A malicious origin or proxy can label a challenge Digest while omitting or emptying the nonce, causing the client to resend the username and password using reversible Basic authentication. Both origin and proxy challenge parsers are affected. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.13 and 2.16.1.","modified":"2026-10-08T19:47:04.603430284Z","published":"2026-10-08T00:00:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-107231"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-107231"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-107231"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/security/advisories/GHSA-rqf5-2wxv-rjf4"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/commit/c8d639bf6ac341d377d610a93570bcd15565f1a6"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/commit/8376866aa9b5a7653ad19db9d472692f875caa83"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/commit/c8d639bf6ac341d377d610a93570bcd15565f1a6"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/releases/tag/async-http-client-project-2.16.1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client/releases/tag/async-http-client-project-3.0.13"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"async-http-client","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/async-http-client?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.6.5-1","1.6.5-2","1.6.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.6.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libasync-http-client-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231.json"}},{"package":{"name":"async-http-client","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/async-http-client?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.6.5-4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.6.5-4","binary_name":"libasync-http-client-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231.json"}},{"package":{"name":"async-http-client","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/async-http-client?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.6.5-4","1.6.5-5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libasync-http-client-java","binary_version":"1.6.5-5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231.json"}},{"package":{"name":"async-http-client","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/async-http-client?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.6.0-1","2.6.0-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libasync-http-client-java","binary_version":"2.6.0-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231.json"}},{"package":{"name":"async-http-client","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/async-http-client?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.12.2-1","2.12.3-1","2.12.3-1ubuntu0.22.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libasync-http-client-java","binary_version":"2.12.3-1ubuntu0.22.04.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231.json"}},{"package":{"name":"async-http-client","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/async-http-client?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.12.3-1","2.12.3-1ubuntu0.24.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.12.3-1ubuntu0.24.04.1","binary_name":"libasync-http-client-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231.json"}},{"package":{"name":"async-http-client","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/async-http-client?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.12.3-1","2.12.3-1ubuntu1","2.12.3-1ubuntu1.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libasync-http-client-java","binary_version":"2.12.3-1ubuntu1.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107231.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
