Advisory ID gitlab/maven/org.apache.cxf/cxf-rt-transports-http/CVE-2016-6812
Aliases CVE-2016-6812
Summary Cross-site Scripting The HTTP transport module in Apache CXF uses `FormattedServiceListWriter` to provide an HTML page which lists the names and absolute URL addresses of the available service endpoints. The module calculates the base URL using the current `HttpServletRequest` which is used by `FormattedServiceListWriter` to build the service endpoint absolute URLs. If the unexpected matrix parameters have been injected into the request URL then these matrix parameters will find their way back to the client in the services list page which represents an XSS risk to the client.
