Apache CXF vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information

  • Disclosed: 13.12.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 11:21

A vulnerability in Apache CXF before versions 3.5.5 and 3.4.10 allows an attacker to perform a remote directory listing or code exfiltration. The vulnerability only applies when the CXFServlet is configured with both the static-resources-list and redirect-query-check attributes. These attributes are not supposed to be used together, and so the vulnerability can only arise if the CXF service is misconfigured.
