SCA: security update for org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-jose-jaxrs (GHSA-33j8-j763-4fv5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446176

Description

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

 - A vulnerability in Apache CXF's JwsJsonContainerRequestFilter can be exploited to cause CXF to process
 metadata that was not authenticated by the accepted signature. This can bypass the application's
 assumption that accepted `Content-Type` or protected HTTP-header metadata came from a verified signature
 entry, and may steer downstream JAX-RS entity parsing or signed-header consistency checks. Users are
 recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue. (CVE-2026-50634)

Solution

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