CVE-2012-3451: Input Validation
First published: Mon Aug 27 2012(Updated: )
Apache CXF is vulnerable to SOAPAction spoofing attacks under certain conditions. If web services are exposed via Apache CXF that use a unique SOAPAction for each service operation, then a remote attacker could perform SOAPAction spoofing to call a forbidden operation if it accepts the same parameters as an allowed operation. WS-Policy validation is performed against the operation being invoked, and an attack must pass validation to be successful.
