CVE-2026-68481

Apache CXF: Revocation bypass in DefaultEncryptingOAuthDataProvider

State: Published
Severity: 7.5 High
Published: Aug 6, 2026
Updated: Aug 7, 2026
Reserved: Jul 30, 2026

Description

In Apache CXF's DefaultEncryptingOAuthDataProvider, revoked access tokens still decrypt successfully, and TokenIntrospectionService reports active:true. The same applies to refresh tokens. This violates the RFC stipulations that 'The authorization server MUST invalidate the token.' and 'introspection of a revoked token MUST return {"active":false}'. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
