Apache CXF OAuth2 HTTP Response Splitting via WWW-Authenticate Realm Injection

Quick fix

GHSA-xf62-wr5p-5p95 — org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-oauth2: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

# pom.xml: bump <version>4.2.2</version> for org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-oauth2

Details

A CRLF injection vulnerability exists in the OAuth2 AuthorizationUtils class. When constructing the WWW-Authenticate response header, the 'realm' parameter is concatenated without sanitizing Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) characters. If an attacker can control the realm value, they can inject arbitrary HTTP headers or split the HTTP response entirely. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fixes this issue.
