Description Vincent Danen 2012-02-07 18:04:05 UTC

It was reported [1] that Apache CXF does not properly validate a WS-Security UsernameToken that was received as part of the security header of a SOAP request against a WS-SP UsernameToken policy.  This could allow a malicious client to send a request to the endpoint with no UsernameToken, and the UsernameToken policy requirement would still be marked as valid.

This has been fixed upstream [2] in versions 2.4.6 and 2.5.2 and only affected 2.4.5 and 2.5.1 users (earlier versions were not affected).

Statement:

Not Vulnerable. This issue only affects Apache CXF 2.4.5 and 2.5.1. Earlier versions were not affected and later versions include a fix for this issue. This issue does not affect the versions of Apache CXF as shipped with various Red Hat products.
