Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for async-http-client.

CVE-2024-53990[0]:
| The AsyncHttpClient (AHC) library allows Java applications to easily
| execute HTTP requests and asynchronously process HTTP responses.
| When making any HTTP request, the automatically enabled and self-
| managed CookieStore (aka cookie jar) will silently replace
| explicitly defined Cookies with any that have the same name from the
| cookie jar. For services that operate with multiple users, this can
| result in one user's Cookie being used for another user's requests.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
