CVE-2017-5656

HIGH

Apache CXF <3.1.11, <3.0.13 - Privilege Escalation

Title source: llm

Description

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.
