Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process. http-cache-semantics through 4.2.0 fails to properly validate security-zeroed cache entries when processing client max-stale directives, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve cached responses belonging to other users. Attackers can request the same URL with a large max-stale value to obtain another user's Set-Cookie session credentials from shared-cache entries that were deliberately zeroed for security reasons.
Upstream claims this security report is invalid https://github.com/kornelski/http-cache-semantics/issues/56#issuecomment-5975759591 and the security advisory has been withdrawn: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-ch52-4w7c-c8xp
