Advisory [CVE-2026-97791] In Apache CXF, STSTokenValidator checks whether a SAML assertion is signed by a trusted certificate before deciding to send it to the STS
CVE-2026-97791Source published Source updated
In Apache CXF, STSTokenValidator checks whether a SAML assertion is signed by a trusted certificate before deciding to send it to the STS. That result was stored in one object shared by all requests, so one request could read another's result. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could send a forged assertion signed with an untrusted certificate while legitimate requests were being processed, and it could be accepted as trusted without ever reaching the STS. Only services that use STSTokenValidator to validate SAML tokens without alwaysValidateToSts set are affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.4 or 4.1.9 or 3.6.13, which fix this issue.

High [CVE-2026-97791] Authentication bypass via shared token validation state
CVE-2026-97791Source published Source updated
A flaw was found in Apache CXF. This vulnerability allows an authentication bypass when validating Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) tokens. Because the token validator shares validation state across concurrent requests, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can submit a forged assertion signed with an untrusted certificate while legitimate requests are processed, causing the forged assertion to be accepted as trusted.
