Descriptions

The URIMappingInterceptor in Apache CXF before 2.5.8, 2.6.x before 2.6.5, and 2.7.x before 2.7.2, when using the WSS4JInInterceptor, bypasses WS-Security processing, which allows remote attackers to obtain access to SOAP services via an HTTP GET request.

El URIMappingInterceptor en Apache CXF anterior a v2.5.8, v2.6.x anterior a v2.6.5, y v2.7.x anterior a v2.7.2, cuando utiliza el WSS4JInInterceptor, evita el procesamiento de WS-Security, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener acceso a los servicios SOAP mediante una petición HTTP GET.
