CVE-2026-65583: Apache Cxf

Critical severity, CVSS 9.1. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Apache CXF’s OIDC relying-party token validation could accept self-issued ID tokens without enforcing required claim checks (issuer/subject/audience/time and sub_jwk binding), enabling authentication bypass with crafted tokens. However, note that self-issued ID tokens are not accepted by default in the validator. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fixes this issue.

Affected products

• Apache Cxf: before 3.6.12 (fixed in 3.6.12); from 4.0.0, before 4.1.8 (fixed in 4.1.8); from 4.2.0, before 4.2.3 (fixed in 4.2.3)
