Machine-written summary

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

Async-http-client (Maven org.asynchttpclient:async-http-client) versions 3.0.13 and earlier 3.x releases, and 2.x up to 2.16.1, can reuse a pooled HTTP/1.1 connection across different NTLM, Kerberos, SPNEGO or proxy identities. A request under one identity may be served on a connection that another identity authenticated, including unauthenticated requests and requests with same-named users from different realms. Upgrade to 3.0.14. The 2.x line will not be fixed, so upgrade to 3.0.14. Using separate client instances per identity avoids the sharing.
