Apache CXF: The authorization code hash (c_hash) is not enforced for the hybrid OIDC flow
CVE-2026-57817
Description
The OpenID Connect Core 1.0 specification mandates that the RP MUST validate the c_hash parameter when operating in the Hybrid Flow. If an Apache CXF RP is integrated with a non-compliant or misconfigured Identity Provider (IdP) that omits the c_hash, the RP becomes vulnerable to Authorization Code Substitution/Injection attacks. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
