CVE-2026-69208: Http4s: DigestAuth nonce map grows unbounded

September 15, 2026

The DigestAuth server middleware’s stale-nonce cleanup uses an inverted comparison: it removes fresh nonces and stops at the first stale one. Because a new nonce is created for every unauthenticated challenge, an attacker can drive the nonce map to grow without bound until the JVM runs out of heap.
