Apache CXF: Untrusted JMS configuration can lead to RCE
Quick fix
GHSA-g4px-6qhm-hqjm — org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>3.6.8</version> for org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jmsDetails
If untrusted users are allowed to configure JMS for Apache CXF, previously they could use RMI or LDAP URLs, potentially leading to code execution capabilities. This interface is now restricted to reject those protocols, removing this possibility.
Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 3.6.8, 4.0.9 or 4.1.3, which fix this issue.
