CVE-2016-6812
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation in Apache CXF
Also known as GHSA-vw2c-5wph-v92r
Published 9 y ago · modified 4 mo ago · JSON
Summary
The HTTP transport module in Apache CXF prior to 3.0.12 and 3.1.x prior to 3.1.9 uses FormattedServiceListWriter to provide an HTML page which lists the names and absolute URL addresses of the available service endpoints. The module calculates the base URL using the current HttpServletRequest. The calculated base URL is used by FormattedServiceListWriter to build the service endpoint absolute URLs. If the unexpected matrix parameters have been injected into the request URL then these matrix parameters will find their way back to the client in the services list page which represents an XSS risk to the client.
