Vulnerability in org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-jose-jaxrs (CVE-2026-50634)
Summary
Vulnerability in org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-jose-jaxrs (CVE-2026-50634). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.1.7 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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 parsing or signed-header consistency checks. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fix this issue.
