Machine-written summary

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

The http4s-client package is affected in several version ranges: below 0.23.35 for the 2.12 and 2.13 builds, 1.0.0-M1 up to 1.0.0-M47 for the 2.13 and 3 builds, and below 0.23.35 for the 3 build. The CookieJar client middleware accepts a Domain attribute from a server's Set-Cookie header without checking that it matches the sending host. A malicious or compromised server can plant cookies for other domains in the same jar, enabling session fixation or overwriting of security-relevant cookies. Upgrade to 0.23.35 or 1.0.0-M47. Avoid sharing one CookieJar between trusted and untrusted servers.
