AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains functional exploit code demonstrating CVE-2025-48913, an Apache CXF JMS Transport JNDI Injection vulnerability. It includes multiple PoC scripts that verify the vulnerability, test patch effectiveness, and confirm a bypass in the patched version.

Description

If untrusted users are allowed to configure JMS for Apache CXF, previously they could use RMI or LDAP URLs, potentially leading to code execution capabilities. This interface is now restricted to reject those protocols, removing this possibility. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 3.6.8, 4.0.9 or 4.1.3, which fix this issue.
