2DescriptionCVE.org
In Apache CXF's DefaultEncryptingCodeDataProvider, a captured authorization code can be redeemed an unlimited number of times due to a flaw in the implementation of the removeCodeGrant functionality. This violates the RFC requirement that "The authorization code MUST NOT be used more than once." Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
AnalysisAI
Apache CXF's DefaultEncryptingCodeDataProvider allows captured OAuth 2.0 authorization codes to be redeemed an unlimited number of times, violating RFC 6749's single-use requirement. The removeCodeGrant() method that should invalidate a code after first exchange fails to do so, meaning any attacker who intercepts or obtains a legitimate authorization code can replay it repeatedly to obtain additional access tokens. …
