Apache Axis2 has Improper Input Validation
CVE-2012-5785 · GHSA-wwq7-pxwc-p4rc
- Affected
- Maven org.apache.axis2:axis2-transport-http < 1.8.0
- Fixed in
- 1.8.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Apache Axis2/Java 1.7.9 and earlier does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.8.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
