CVE-2012-2379 [CRITICAL] CVE-2012-2379: Apache CXF 2.4.x before 2.4.8, 2.5.x before 2.5.4, and 2.6.x before 2.6.1, when a Supporting Token s Apache CXF 2.4.x before 2.4.8, 2.5.x before 2.5.4, and 2.6.x before 2.6.1, when a Supporting Token specifies a child WS-SecurityPolicy 1.1 or 1.2 policy, does not properly ensure that an XML element is signed or encrypted, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.

CVE-2025-23184 [HIGH] CWE-400 CVE-2025-23184: A potential denial of service vulnerability is present in versions of Apache CXF before 3.5.10, 3.6. A potential denial of service vulnerability is present in versions of Apache CXF before 3.5.10, 3.6.5 and 4.0.6. In some edge cases, the CachedOutputStream instances may not be closed and, if backed by temporary files, may fill up the file system (it applies to servers and clients).

CVE-2024-32007 [HIGH] CWE-20 CVE-2024-32007: An improper input validation of the p2c parameter in the Apache CXF JOSE code before 4.0.5, 3.6.4 an An improper input validation of the p2c parameter in the Apache CXF JOSE code before 4.0.5, 3.6.4 and 3.5.9 allows an attacker to perform a denial of service attack by specifying a large value for this parameter in a token.

CVE-2012-5633 [MEDIUM] CWE-287 CVE-2012-5633: The URIMappingInterceptor in Apache CXF before 2.5.8, 2.6.x before 2.6.5, and 2.7.x before 2.7.2, wh The URIMappingInterceptor in Apache CXF before 2.5.8, 2.6.x before 2.6.5, and 2.7.x before 2.7.2, when using the WSS4JInInterceptor, bypasses WS-Security processing, which allows remote attackers to obtain access to SOAP services via an HTTP GET request.

CVE-2026-50630 [MEDIUM] CWE-113 CVE-2026-50630: A CRLF injection vulnerability exists in the OAuth2 AuthorizationUtils class. When constructing the A CRLF injection vulnerability exists in the OAuth2 AuthorizationUtils class. When constructing the WWW-Authenticate response header, the 'realm' parameter is concatenated without sanitizing Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) characters. If an attacker can control the realm value, they can inject arbitrary HTTP headers or split the HTTP response

CVE-2024-41172 [HIGH] CWE-401 CVE-2024-41172: In versions of Apache CXF before 3.6.4 and 4.0.5 (3.5.x and lower versions are not impacted), a CXF In versions of Apache CXF before 3.6.4 and 4.0.5 (3.5.x and lower versions are not impacted), a CXF HTTP client conduit may prevent HTTPClient instances from being garbage collected and it is possible that memory consumption will continue to increase, eventually causing the application to run out of memory

CVE-2026-50645 [HIGH] CWE-400 CVE-2026-50645: There is no restriction on the amount of attachment headers that a message can contain when being de There is no restriction on the amount of attachment headers that a message can contain when being deserialized by Apache CXF, which can lead to uncontrolled resource consumption or a denial of service attack. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fix this issue by imposing a maximum default of 500 attachments per message.

CVE-2017-5653 [MEDIUM] CWE-295 CVE-2017-5653: JAX-RS XML Security streaming clients in Apache CXF before 3.1.11 and 3.0.13 do not validate that th JAX-RS XML Security streaming clients in Apache CXF before 3.1.11 and 3.0.13 do not validate that the service response was signed or encrypted, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers.

CVE-2013-0239 [MEDIUM] CWE-287 CVE-2013-0239: Apache CXF before 2.5.9, 2.6.x before 2.6.6, and 2.7.x before 2.7.3, when the plaintext UsernameToke 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.

CVE-2026-50634 [MEDIUM] CWE-347 CVE-2026-50634: A vulnerability in Apache CXF's JwsJsonContainerRequestFilter can be exploited to cause CXF to proce A vulnerability in Apache CXF's JwsJsonContainerRequestFilter can be exploited to cause CXF to process metadata that was not authenticated by the accepted signature. This can bypass the application's assumption that accepted `Content-Type` or protected HTTP-header metadata came from a verified signature entry, and may steer downstream JAX-RS entity

CVE-2014-0034 [MEDIUM] CWE-20 CVE-2014-0034: The SecurityTokenService (STS) in Apache CXF before 2.6.12 and 2.7.x before 2.7.9 does not properly The SecurityTokenService (STS) in Apache CXF before 2.6.12 and 2.7.x before 2.7.9 does not properly validate SAML tokens when caching is enabled, which allows remote attackers to gain access via an invalid SAML token.
