CVE-2026-61466
In Apache CXF's OAuth2 Dynamic Client Registration endpoint, the authorization server accepts and stores the `scope` value supplied in the client registration request verbatim, without validating it against an AS-defined allowlist. This could lead to a client self-assigning privileged scopes at registration time. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.71%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 52
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N sin interacción = T1190. Asignación no validada de scopes privilegiados en OAuth2 permite elevar permisos (T1078.001) y potencialmente manipular la autenticación (T1556.006).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
