CVE-2026-44930
Description
A flaw was found in Apache CXF. A remote attacker could exploit an LDAP injection vulnerability in the LDAP Certificate repository of the XKMS server. This vulnerability allows the attacker to retrieve arbitrary certificates from the repository, leading to information disclosure.
Statement
This is an Important information disclosure flaw in Apache CXF's XKMS server, allowing a remote attacker to retrieve arbitrary certificates via an LDAP injection vulnerability in the LDAP Certificate repository. This impact is considered Important due to the potential for unauthorized access to sensitive cryptographic material without requiring prior authentication, affecting the confidentiality of services utilizing the cxf-services-xkms-x509-repo-ldap component in Red Hat products.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
