Machine-written summary

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

Reactor Netty (io.projectreactor.netty:reactor-netty) versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.51, 1.1.0 through 1.1.35, 1.2.0 through 1.2.17, and 1.3.0 through 1.3.5 are affected. When the HTTP client is explicitly configured to follow redirects, a redirect from a secure endpoint to an insecure one can cause credentials to be leaked. Upgrade to version 1.3.6 or 1.2.18, or to a later release in your line.
