"The version of Apache CXF installed on the remote host is prior to 3.6.13, or 4.x prior to 4.1.9, or 4.2.x prior to
4.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

  - The max_age authentication-freshness check in OidcClientCodeRequestFilter was inoperative due to a
    milliseconds/seconds unit mismatch and an inverted comparison polarity. Any relying party using setMaxAgeOffset
    to enforce re-authentication would silently accept sessions of any age, bypassing step-up authentication
    policies. (CVE-2026-71575)

  - Apache CXF's STSTokenValidator and Security Token Service (STS) cached validated security tokens under a
    non-cryptographic 32-bit hash of the token, and treated a cache hit as proof that the presented token had already
    been validated. An attacker could craft a token whose hash collides with a cached entry, which would then be
    accepted without password validation, signature trust verification or a call to the STS, letting the attacker
    authenticate as another user. (CVE-2026-97468)

  - The Netty HTTP client transport did not verify the TLS certificate hostname, allowing a network
    man-in-the-middle to impersonate the target service. (CVE-2026-107938)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
