Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Apache CXF. The OAuth2 authorization service fails to properly enforce single-use authorization code restrictions due to a race condition during database operations. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by submitting concurrent token exchange requests, allowing them to obtain multiple valid access tokens from a single authorization code.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-09 10:31:51 UTC
Improper enforcement of single-use authorization code semantics in the JPA OAuth2 authorization code grant provider in Apache CXFallows a remote attacker to obtain multiple valid access tokens from a single authorization code via concurrent token exchange requests that race the non-atomic find-then-delete operation against a shared relational database under READ_COMMITTED isolation. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.4 or 4.1.9 or 3.6.13, which fixes this issue.
