Apache CXF: WS JSON request filter trusts metadata from an unvalidated first signature entry
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-jose-jaxrs | >= 4.2.0, < 4.2.2 | 4.2.2 |
| Maven | org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-jose-jaxrs | < 4.1.7 | 4.1.7 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
A vulnerability in Apache CXF's JwsJsonContainerRequestFilter can be exploited to cause CXF to process metadata that was not authenticated by the accepted signature. This can bypass the application's assumption
that accepted `Content-Type` or protected HTTP-header metadata came from a verified signature entry, and may steer downstream JAX-RS entity parsing or signed-header consistency checks. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fix this issue.
