In specific scenarios involving HTTP redirects from a secure to an insecure endpoint, the Reactor Netty HTTP client may leak credentials. In order for this to happen, the HTTP client must have been explicitly configured to follow redirects. Affected versions: Reactor Netty 1.0.0 through 1.0.51; 1.1.0 through 1.1.35; 1.2.0 through 1.2.17; 1.3.0 through 1.3.5.
In Reactor Netty HTTP Server, versions 1.1.x prior to 1.1.13 and versions 1.0.x prior to 1.0.39, it is possible for a user to provide specially crafted HTTP requests that may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. Specifically, an application is vulnerable if Reactor Netty HTTP Server built-in integration with Micrometer is enabled.
In Reactor Netty HTTP Server, versions 1.1.x prior to 1.1.13 and versions 1.0.x prior to 1.0.39, a malicious user can send a request using a specially crafted URL that can lead to a directory traversal attack. Specifically, an application is vulnerable if Reactor Netty HTTP Server is configured to serve static resources.
The HttpClient from Reactor Netty may be used incorrectly, leading to a credentials leak during a redirect to a different domain. In order for this to happen, the HttpClient must have been explicitly configured to follow redirects.
Reactor Netty HttpServer, is exposed to a URISyntaxException that causes the connection to be closed prematurely instead of producing a response.
Pivotal Reactor Netty, versions prior to 0.8.11, passes headers through redirects, including authorization ones. A remote unauthenticated malicious user may gain access to credentials for a different server than they have access to.
