Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2015-5253
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using an XML wrapping attack to construct a SAML Response and bypass the authentication process to log into the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/108096 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2016-6812
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the FormattedServiceListWriter() function. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the 'matrix ' parameter in a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/120409 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2016-8739
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in JAX-RS implementation. By using a specially-crafted XML data, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/120408 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2017-12624
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF is vulnerable to a denial of service. By using a specially crafted message attachment header, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the AX-WS and JAX-RS services stop responding.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/135095 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2017-3156
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF could provide weaker than expected security, caused by the failure to use the OAuth2 Hawk and JOSE MAC Validation code. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using timing attacks to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/130249 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2017-5653
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by the improper validation of service response in JAX-RS XML Security streaming clients. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof the servers.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/125087 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2017-5656
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the STSClient. By sending a specially-crafted token, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass security restrictions.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/125216 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2018-8039
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF could allow a remote attacker to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack. The TLS hostname verification does not work correctly with com.sun.net.ssl interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a man-in-the-middle attack.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145516 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2019-12406
DESCRIPTION:   Apache CXF is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to restrict the number of message attachments present in a given message. By sending a specially-crafted message containing an overly large number of message attachments, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/170974 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
