Description Adam Mariš 2015-11-16 10:41:25 UTC 
A vulnerability in Apache CXF module adding support for SAML SSO to a JAX-RS endpoint was found. It is possible to construct a SAML Response by means of a wrapping attack, that allows a malicious user to log in instead of the principal extracted from the signed SAML assertion. Affects versions prior to 3.1.3, 3.0.7 and 2.7.18.
