Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-05-01 21:43:37 EDT
UsernameTokens are sent in plaintext, i.e. not encrypted, by a CXF client that
uses a SymmetricBinding with EncryptBeforeSigning enabled, and a UsernameToken
policy that is a *EncryptedSupportingToken. No other binding is affected, and
SignBeforeEncrypting is not affected either.

Affected versions:
Apach CXF 2.6.x < 2.6.13
Apach CXF 2.7.x < 2.7.10

NOTE from apache advisory:
Although this vulnerability has been fixed in CXF 2.6.13 and 2.7.10, due to 
other security advisories it is recommended to upgrade to the following
releases:
CXF 2.6.x users should upgrade to 2.6.14 or later as soon as possible.
CXF 2.7.x users should upgrade to 2.7.11 or later as soon as possible.
