Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Apache CXF. The `JwtAccessTokenValidator` class fails to properly validate the 'aud' (Audience) claims within incoming JSON Web Token (JWT) access tokens. This vulnerability allows an attacker to reuse a JWT, originally intended for one resource server, against a different resource server. This can lead to token confusion and routing attacks, potentially granting unauthorized access or information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-12 10:01:15 UTC
The JwtAccessTokenValidator class in Apache CXF fails to validate the 'aud' (Audience) claims of incoming JWT access tokens. This allows a JWT issued for one Resource Server to be successfully replayed against a completely different Resource Server, leading to Token Confusion/Routing attacks. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fixes this issue.
