CVE-2020-13954: Cross-site Scripting

November 12, 2020 (updated December 7, 2021)

By default, Apache CXF creates a /services page containing a listing of the available endpoint names and addresses. This webpage is vulnerable to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack via the styleSheetPath, which allows a malicious actor to inject javascript into the web page. Please note that this is a separate issue to CVE-2019-17573.
