description
Apache WSS4J DOM security processing is affected by an authentication bypass involving unsigned SAML sender-vouches assertions. An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause forged SOAP messages to be treated as authenticated when the affected assertion processing is reachable.
mitigation
Upgrade org.apache.wss4j:wss4j-ws-security-dom to 4.0.2, 3.0.6, or 2.4.4, selecting the fixed release for the deployed version line.
fixed in 4.0.2, 3.0.6, 2.4.4
outcome
