CVE-2026-65583: Apache CXF: Self-issued ID token claims validation skipped

• Severity: critical (CVSS 9.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-08-06 · updated 2026-10-24
• Weakness: CWE-345

Description

Apache CXF’s OIDC relying-party token validation could accept self-issued ID tokens without enforcing required claim checks (issuer/subject/audience/time and sub_jwk binding), enabling authentication bypass with crafted tokens. However, note that self-issued ID tokens are not accepted by default in the validator. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fixes this issue.

Affected products

• Apache Software Foundation Apache CXF: before 3.6.12; from 4.0.0 before 4.1.8; from 4.2.0 before 4.2.3 — fixed in 3.6.12, 4.1.8, 4.2.3

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache CXF 3.6.12, 4.1.8, 4.2.3. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
