Description David Jorm 2013-01-30 02:37:22 UTC 
It was found that the Apache CXF UsernameTokenPolicyValidator and UsernameTokenInterceptor allow a UsernameToken element with no password child element to bypass authentication. A remote attacker could use this flaw to circumvent access controls applied to web services by omitting the password in a UsernameToken. If an incorrect password is provided, authentication will fail, but if the password is omitted, it will succeed. This flaw is exploitable on web services that rely on WS-SecurityPolicy plaintext UsernameTokens to authenticate users. It is not exploitable when using hashed passwords or WS-Security without WS-SecurityPolicy.
