Apache
Parameter Value
CVSS 7.5 (HIGH)
Affected Versions 4.0.0 — 4.2.3
Fixed In 3.6.12
Type CWE-672
Vendor Apache
Public PoC No

In Apache CXF's DefaultEncryptingOAuthDataProvider, revoked access tokens still decrypt successfully, and TokenIntrospectionService reports active:true. The same applies to refresh tokens. This violates the RFC stipulations that 'The authorization server MUST invalidate the token.' and 'introspection of a revoked token MUST return {"active":false}'.

Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
