Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—
Apache CXF 2.4.x before 2.4.8, 2.5.x before 2.5.4, and 2.6.x before 2.6.1, when a Supporting Token specifies a child WS-SecurityPolicy 1.1 or 1.2 policy, does not properly ensure that an XML element is signed or encrypted, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.11%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 91
Score date: 10/14/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
