CVE-2019-17573· NVD / CVE Program· CNA apache

By default, Apache CXF creates a /services page containing a listing of the available endpoint names and addresses.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 94.1% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: org.apache.cxf:apache-cxf (Maven) 3.3.5, 3.2.12; org.apache.cxf:cxf (Maven) 3.3.5, 3.2.12; eap7-activemq-artemis (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:7.2::el6) 0:2.9.0-4.redhat_00010.1.el6eap.
  • Mentioned 2 times in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.apache.cxf:apache-cxf (Maven) 3.3.5, 3.2.12; org.apache.cxf:cxf (Maven) 3.3.5, 3.2.12; eap7-activemq-artemis (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:7.2::el6) 0:2.9.0-4.redhat_00010.1.el6eap or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

By default, Apache CXF creates a /services page containing a listing of the available endpoint names and addresses. This webpage is vulnerable to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack, which allows a malicious actor to inject javascript into the web page. Please note that the attack exploits a feature which is not typically not present in modern browsers, who remove dot segments before sending the request. However, Mobile applications may be vulnerable.

Limit the impact of XSS

This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A well-configured Content-Security-Policy doesn't fix it, but greatly reduces its impact. Check your site's CSP and other security headers for free.
