medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446168

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A CRLF injection vulnerability exists in the OAuth2 AuthorizationUtils class. When constructing the WWW-
Authenticate response header, the 'realm' parameter is concatenated without sanitizing Carriage Return
(CR) and Line Feed (LF) characters. If an attacker can control the realm value, they can inject arbitrary
HTTP headers or split the HTTP response entirely. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or
4.1.7 or 3.6.12, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-50630)

Solution

Update the org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-oauth2 library and its related packages to version 4.1.7 or later.
