Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in

Machine-written summary

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

The Maven package org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client, versions from 2.1.0 before 2.12.4 and from 3.0.0.Beta1 before 3.0.1, has a flaw where the automatic cookie store silently replaces explicitly set cookies with same-named cookies from the store. An attacker who can get a cookie into the shared store, such as through a Set-Cookie response, can cause one user's cookie to be sent in another user's requests, which may expose that user's information. Upgrade to 2.12.4 or 3.0.1. Alternatively, disable the cookie store when creating the client.
