CVE-2026-68481 PUBLISHED

Apache CXF: Revocation bypass in DefaultEncryptingOAuthDataProvider

Assigner: apache
Reserved: 30.07.2026 Published: 06.08.2026 Updated: 06.08.2026

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.
