CVE-2026-50632: CWE-20 Improper Input Validation in Apache Software Foundation Apache CXF
A further incomplete fix for a previous advisory CVE-2026-44417 (Untrusted JMS configuration can lead to RCE) for Apache CXF has been identified, which can allow code execution capabilities, if untrusted users are allowed to configure JMS for Apache CXF. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fixes this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Apache CXF arises from improper input validation (CWE-20) in JMS configuration handling. It is a continuation of a previously identified issue (CVE-2026-44417) where untrusted JMS configuration could enable remote code execution. The incomplete fix allowed the vulnerability to persist in versions prior to 4.2.2 and 4.1.7. Exploitation requires the ability for untrusted users to configure JMS, which could lead to code execution on the affected system.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can result in remote code execution capabilities on systems running vulnerable versions of Apache CXF if untrusted users are permitted to configure JMS. This can lead to full compromise of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache CXF to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which contain the complete fix for this vulnerability. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory recommending these versions.
