Descriptions

Apache CXF before 2.5.9, 2.6.x before 2.6.6, and 2.7.x before 2.7.3, when the plaintext UsernameToken WS-SecurityPolicy is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a security header of a SOAP request containing a UsernameToken element that lacks a password child element.

Apache CXF anterior a v2.5.9, v2.6.x anterior a v2.6.6, y v2.7.x anterior a v2.7.3, cuando está activado sernameToken WS-SecurityPolicy en texto plano, permite a atacantes remotos evitar la autenticación a través de una cabecera de seguridad de una petición SOAP que contiene un elemento UsernameToken que carece de contraseña en el elemento hijo.
