Summary

Apache CXF is affected in versions before 3.6.13, from 4.0.0 before 4.1.9, and from 4.2.0 before 4.2.4. Its OIDC relying party component reuses attacker-controlled state parameters as redirect targets without checking that the decoded URI belongs to the relying party's origin (CWE-601). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a victim a crafted link, and the victim is redirected to an external URL after successful authentication, with both directly encoded and double-encoded URLs able to trigger it.

Description from the CNA

Apache CXF’s OIDC relying-party component could redirect users to an attacker-controlled URL after successful authentication. The issue occurs because attacker-controlled state parameters are preserved and later used as redirect targets without validating that the final decoded URI belongs to the RP’s origin. Both directly encoded and double-encoded external URLs can trigger the issue, depending on which validation path is used. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.4 or 4.1.9 or 3.6.13, which fix this issue.
