CVE-2026-45300: async-http-client: Cookie header not stripped on cross-origin redirect

May 18, 2026 (updated June 9, 2026)

async-http-client leaks Cookie headers to cross-origin redirect targets. When following a redirect across a security boundary (different origin, or HTTPS→HTTP downgrade), the propagatedHeaders() method in Redirect30xInterceptor.java strips Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers but does not strip Cookie, so session cookies and other sensitive cookie values are forwarded to the redirect target — which may be attacker-controlled.
