A flaw was found in Libsoup. The server-side digest authentication implementation in the SoupAuthDomainDigest class does not properly track issued nonces or enforce the required incrementing nonce-count (nc) attribute. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to capture a single valid authentication header and replay it repeatedly.
Consequently, the attacker can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to protected resources, impersonating the legitimate user.
