Description Marc Schoenefeld 2010-07-15 08:52:28 UTC 
The deployment descriptor (web.xml) of picketlink-sts.war in the
security_saml quickstart, the webservice_proxy_security quickstart, and
some of the included web applications (web-console, http-invoker, gpd-deployer, jbpm-console, contract, and uddi-console), contained a configuration that could allow an attacker to bypass the application's security with a crafted HTTP request. To resolve these issues, the following lines have been removed from the web.xml files of the affected quickstarts and applications:

<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>

If the security_saml quickstart was used to create another application,
then that new application will need to be reviewed to ensure it does not
have this issue.
