Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache CXF's cxf-rt-rs-security-oauth2 package, versions from 4.2.0 before 4.2.2 and before 4.1.7, does not validate the audience claim of incoming JWT access tokens in its JwtAccessTokenValidator class. An attacker holding a token issued for one resource server can replay it against a different resource server and have it accepted. The source gives few details on the exact attacker position required. Upgrade to version 4.2.2 or 4.1.7.
