CVE-2019-17573: Apache CXF Reflected XSS in the services listing page Severity: Moderate Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: This vulnerability affects all versions of Apache CXF prior to 3.3.5 and 3.2.12. Description: 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. Mitigation: Users of Apache CXF should update to either 3.3.5 or 3.2.12. Alternatively, it is possible to disable the service listing altogether by setting the "hide-service-list-page" servlet parameter to "true". Credit: We would like to thank the GE cyber security team for reporting this issue.
