CVE-2025-48913: Apache Cxf

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Apache Cxf: before 3.6.8 (fixed in 3.6.8); from 4.0.0, before 4.0.9 (fixed in 4.0.9); from 4.1.0, before 4.1.3 (fixed in 4.1.3)
