An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-0803 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf (Maven): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.6\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf (Maven): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.6\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf (Maven): affected from 2.5.0; fixed in 2.5.2\n- org.apache.cxf:cxf (Maven): affected from 2.5.0; fixed in 2.5.2\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0803/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0803/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-0803","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0803/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-0803","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2p7x-jcr3-7p2c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java web services library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in Apache CXF by sending an empty UsernameToken in SOAP requests, requiring developers to upgrade the library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"cxf","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The WS-SP UsernameToken policy in Apache CXF 2.4.5 and 2.5.1 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by sending an empty UsernameToken as part of a SOAP request.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Improper Authentication in Apache CXF","id":"CVE-2012-0803","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:cxf","products":["apache:cxf"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0804"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.4.6"],"introduced":["2.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2p7x-jcr3-7p2c"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.4.6"],"introduced":["2.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.cxf/cxf","source":"GHSA-2p7x-jcr3-7p2c"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.5.2"],"introduced":["2.5.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2p7x-jcr3-7p2c"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.5.2"],"introduced":["2.5.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.cxf:cxf","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.cxf/cxf","source":"GHSA-2p7x-jcr3-7p2c"}],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0802"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XML Signature/Encryption Not Validated in Apache CXF","id":"CVE-2012-2379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: Unsafe deserialization of inbound JMS ObjectMessage","id":"CVE-2026-66909","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: DefaultEncryptingCodeDataProvider allows unlimited authorization code replay","id":"CVE-2026-68079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: OAuth2: Inverted IP Binding Check Defeats Security Control","id":"CVE-2026-50628","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF: Untrusted JMS configuration can lead to RCE","id":"CVE-2025-48913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache CXF SSRF Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-46364","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Potential session hijack in Apache CXF","id":"CVE-2019-12419","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in Apache CXF by sending an empty UsernameToken in SOAP requests, requiring developers to upgrade the library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0803/"}
