Description David Jorm 2012-08-27 01:25:06 UTC

Apache CXF is vulnerable to SOAPAction spoofing attacks under certain conditions. If web services are exposed via Apache CXF that use a unique SOAPAction for each service operation, then a remote attacker could perform SOAPAction spoofing to call a forbidden operation if it accepts the same parameters as an allowed operation. WS-Policy validation is performed against the operation being invoked, and an attack must pass validation to be successful.
