GitHub Security Advisory

Potential session hijack in Apache CXF

✓ GitHub Reviewed CRITICAL Has CVE

Advisory Details

Apache CXF before 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 provides all of the components that are required to build a fully fledged OpenId Connect service.

If a malicious client was able to somehow steal an authorization code issued to another client, then they could exploit this vulnerability to obtain an access token for the other client.
