CVE-2014-3623

Apache WSS4J anterior a versión 1.6.17 y versiones 2.x anteriores a 2.0.2, tal y como es usado en Apache CXF versiones 2.7.x anteriores a 2.7.13 y versiones 3.0.x anteriores a 3.0.2, cuando se usa TransportBinding, no se impone apropiadamente la semántica de seguridad del método SubjectConfirmation de SAML, que permite a los atacantes remotos conducir ataques de suplantación de identidad por medio de vectores no especificados.

It was found that Apache WSS4J (Web Services Security for Java), as used by Apache CXF with the TransportBinding, did not, by default, properly enforce all security requirements associated with SAML SubjectConfirmation methods. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform various types of spoofing attacks on web service endpoints secured by WSS4J that rely on SAML for authentication.
