Synopsis

Apache CXF is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apache CXF installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A SSRF vulnerability in WADL service description in versions of Apache CXF before 4.0.5, 3.6.4 and 3.5.9 allows an attacker to perform SSRF style attacks on REST webservices. The attack only applies if a custom stylesheet parameter is configured. (CVE-2024-29736)

- An improper input validation of the p2c parameter in the Apache CXF JOSE code before 4.0.5, 3.6.4 and 3.5.9 allows an attacker to perform a denial of service attack by specifying a large value for this parameter in a token. (CVE-2024-32007)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to Apache CXF 3.5.9, 3.6.4, 4.0.5 or later
