Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Reactor Netty HTTP (io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty-http) versions 1.3.0-M1 to before 1.3.0-M5, and versions before 1.2.8, can leak credentials during certain chained redirects. An attacker must be able to cause a redirect chain, and this only affects clients explicitly configured to follow redirects. Upgrade to 1.3.0-M5 or 1.2.8, or later.
