CVE-2015-5253: Improper Access Control in Apache CXF

May 13, 2022 (updated July 6, 2022)

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.”
