Apache WSS4J before 1.6.17 and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 improperly leaks information about decryption failures when decrypting an encrypted key or message data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover the plaintext form of a symmetric key via a series of crafted messages. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2487.

wss4j: Apache WSS4J is vulnerable to Bleichenbacher's attack (incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2487)
Apache WSS4J before 1.6.17 and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 improperly leaks information about decryption failures when decrypting an encrypted key or message data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover the plaintext form of a symmetric key via a series of crafted messages. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2487.
It was found that a prior countermeasure in Apache WSS4J for Bleichenbacher's attack on XML Encryption (CVE-2011-2487) threw an exception that permitted an attacker to determine the failure of the attempted attack, thereby leaving WSS4J vulnerable to the attack. The original flaw allowed a remote attacker to recover the entire plain text f

CVE-2015-0226 [MEDIUM] CVE-2015-0226 wss4j: Apache WSS4J is vulnerable to Bleichenbacher's attack (incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2487)
CVE-2015-0226 wss4j: Apache WSS4J is vulnerable to Bleichenbacher's attack (incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2487)
Apache WSS4J 1.6.5 contained a countermeasure for Bleichenbacher's attack on XML Encryption, where the PKCS#1 v1.5 Key Transport Algorithm is used to encrypt symmetric keys as part of WS-Security. In particular, the fix avoided leaking information on whether decryption failed when decrypting the encrypted key or decrypting the message data.
However, it is still possible to craft a message such that an attacker can tell where the decryption failure took place, and hence WSS4J is vulnerable to the original attack.
See here for more information on the original fix for WSS4J 1.6.5:
