-----------------------------------
Summary: Dependent library commons-httpclient has a critical
security issue
Key: ABDERA-695
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ABDERA-695
Project: Abdera
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.1.3
Environment: All
Reporter: David Jarrin
Priority: Blocker
A critical security issue has been uncovered in the old commons-httpclient
library. Please read the details here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-644
Any support for commons-httpclient was stopped as of 2007 so there is no hope
that the security issue will be fixed on that code base. The new HttpComponents
does not have this security issue.
It would be extremely helpful (and urgent in my opinion) for Abdera development
to provide a version that works with the new HttpComponents library.
Please consider prioritizing this important update. In my particular case, a
new release of the product I am responsible for cannot happen until the
security issue is resolved by upgrading to use HttpComponents, but because
Abdera does not support HttpComponents we have little options left to meet our
release deadline.
