Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-08-19 06:00:54 UTC
When using Spring Security's CAS Proxy ticket authentication a malicious CAS Service could trick another CAS Service into authenticating a proxy ticket that was not associated. This is due to the fact that the proxy ticket authentication uses the information from the HttpServletRequest which is populated based upon untrusted information within the HTTP request. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass any access control restrictions on which CAS services can authenticate to one another.
