AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Wss4jSecurityInterceptor fails to wire replay cache, allowing replay of SOAP tokens despite configured cache.
Vulnerability
Wss4jSecurityInterceptor did not consistently wire Apache WSS4J ReplayCache instances into RequestData for validation-time checks. This affects Spring Web Services versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.1, 4.1.0 through 4.1.3, 4.0.0 through 4.0.18, and 3.1.0 through 3.1.8. [1]
Exploitation
An attacker with network access to a service that accepts SOAP messages and expects replay detection can re-submit a captured SOAP message with still-valid UsernameToken nonces, Timestamp elements, or SAML one-time-use constructs within the acceptance window. [1]
Impact
Successful exploitation allows replay of authentication tokens, potentially bypassing authentication or enabling unauthorized operations. The CVSS v3 base score is 3.7 (Low), indicating limited impact on integrity. [1]
Mitigation
Upgrade to fixed versions: for 5.0.x upgrade to 5.0.2; for 4.1.x upgrade to 4.1.4; for 4.0.x upgrade to 4.0.19; for 3.1.x upgrade to 3.1.9. If upgrading is not possible, extend Wss4jSecurityInterceptor and override initializeValidationRequestData(MessageContext messageContext) to set NonceReplayCache, TimestampReplayCache, and SamlOneTimeUseReplayCache on the RequestData object.
