Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass replay protections.
The vulnerability exists due to improper security control enforcement in Wss4jSecurityInterceptor validation handling when validating SOAP security constructs that rely on replay detection. A remote attacker can re-submit still-valid cryptographic material to bypass replay protections.
Exploitation requires validation of UsernameToken nonces or creation timestamps, Timestamp elements, or certain SAML one-time-use semantics, and the service must accept repeated SOAP messages within the acceptance window.
