CVE-2026-50627

Apache Software Foundation Apache CXF, Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4.18.1.P1 for Spring Boot 3.5.16, Red Hat Fuse 7

The JwtAccessTokenValidator class in Apache CXF fails to validate the 'aud' (Audience) claims of incoming JWT access tokens. This allows a JWT issued for one Resource Server to be successfully replayed against a completely different Resource Server, leading to Token Confusion/Routing attacks. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fixes this issue.
