Descriptions

The SymmetricBinding in Apache CXF before 2.6.13 and 2.7.x before 2.7.10, when EncryptBeforeSigning is enabled and the UsernameToken policy is set to an EncryptedSupportingToken, transmits the UsernameToken in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.

SymmetricBinding en Apache CXF anterior a 2.6.13 y 2.7.x anterior a 2.7.10, cuando EncryptBeforeSigning está habilitado y la política UsernameToken está configurada en un EncryptedSupportingToken, transmite el UsernameToken en texto claro, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible mediante la captura de trafico de la red.

It was discovered that UsernameTokens were sent in plain text by an Apache CXF client that used a Symmetric EncryptBeforeSigning password policy. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to obtain the user name and password used by the client application using Apache CXF.
