CVE-2026-71575

Apache CXF: Inoperative max_age authentication-freshness check in OidcClientCodeRequestFilter

State: Published
Severity: 9.1 Critical
Published: Oct 9, 2026
Updated: Oct 15, 2026
Reserved: Aug 7, 2026

Description

The max_age authentication-freshness check in OidcClientCodeRequestFilter was inoperative due to a milliseconds/seconds unit mismatch and an inverted comparison polarity. Any relying party using setMaxAgeOffset to enforce re-authentication would silently accept sessions of any age, bypassing step-up authentication policies. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.4 or 4.1.9 or 3.6.13, which fix this issue.
