Descriptions

The SAML Web SSO module in Apache CXF before 2.7.18, 3.0.x before 3.0.7, and 3.1.x before 3.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to bypass authentication via a crafted SAML response with a valid signed assertion, related to a "wrapping attack."

El módulo Web SSO SAML en Apache CXF en versiones anteriores a 2.7.18, 3.0.x en versiones anteriores a 3.0.7 y 3.1.x en versiones anteriores a 3.1.3 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados eludir la autenticación a través de una respuesta SAML manipulada con una aserción firmada valida, relacionado con un 'wrapping attack.'

It was found that Apache CXF permitted wrapping attacks in its support for SAML SSO. A malicious user could construct a SAML response that would bypass the login screen and possibly gain access to restricted information or resources.
