CVE-2025-46548: Apache Pekko Management, Apache Pekko Management, Apache Pekko Management: management API basic authentication is not effective

Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache Pekko Management (org.apache.pekko:pekko-management_2.12) 1.0.0 before 1.1.1
- Apache Pekko Management (org.apache.pekko:pekko-management_2.13) 1.0.0 before 1.1.1
- Apache Pekko Management (org.apache.pekko:pekko-management_3) 1.0.0 before 1.1.1

Description:

If you enable Basic Authentication in Pekko Management using the Java DSL, the authenticator may not be properly applied.


Users that rely on authentication instead of making sure the Management API ports are only available to trusted users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.1.1, which fixes this issue.
