Machine-written summary

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

Versions of http4k-security-digest before 6.48.0.0, 5.42.0.0 and 4.51.0.0 default the nonceVerifier parameter of ServerFilters.DigestAuth and DigestAuthProvider to accept every nonce, which removes replay protection from Digest authentication. An attacker who captures a valid Digest Authorization response, for example through network observation or log access, could replay it against the protected resource. Upgrade to 6.48.0.0, 5.42.0.0 or 4.51.0.0, or, if you cannot, pass an explicit nonceVerifier that tracks issued nonces, enforces a time limit and rejects reuse.
