CXF: UsernameTokens are sent in plaintext with a Symmetric EncryptBeforeSigning policy

Published Jul 7, 2014

Description

The SymmetricBinding in Apache CXF before 2.6.13 and 2.7.x before 2.7.10, when EncryptBeforeSigning is enabled and the UsernameToken policy is set to an EncryptedSupportingToken, transmits the UsernameToken in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.
