Check this codebase for CVE-2011-4314 and fix it if it is affected.
What it is: CVE-2011-4314 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Redhat Jboss Enterprise Application Platform, published on 27 Jan 2012. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2011-4314 in the wild and no public exploit code.
Affected packages and fixed versions:
- org.openid4java:openid4java (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 0.9.6
- org.openid4java:openid4java (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 0.9.6
Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.

What is CVE-2011-4314?
CVE-2011-4314 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Redhat Jboss Enterprise Application Platform, published on 27 Jan 2012. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
message/ax/AxMessage.java in OpenID4Java before 0.9.6 final, as used in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1 before 5.1.2, Step2, Kay Framework before 1.0.2, and possibly other products does not verify that Attribute Exchange (AX) information is signed, which allows remote attackers to modify potentially sensitive AX information without detection via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
Weakness: CWE-20
