Apache CXF is susceptible to timing attacks. The vulnerability is possible because MAC signature comparison algorithm used by its OAuth2 Hawk and JOSE MAC Validation code is not performed in constant time. Therefore, an attacker can trigger a timing attack through the OAuth2 Hawk or JWT access tokens or JOSE JWS/JWE interceptors.
