CVE-2017-5656: Session Fixation

May 13, 2022 (updated July 1, 2022)

Apache CXF’s STSClient before 3.1.11 and 3.0.13 uses a flawed way of caching tokens that are associated with delegation tokens, which means that an attacker could craft a token which would return an identifer corresponding to a cached token for another user.
