Advisories for Maven/Org.apache.axis2/Axis2 package

Apache Axis2 allows remote attackers to forge messages and bypass authentication via an "XML Signature wrapping attack."

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.

Apache Axis2 allows remote attackers to forge messages and bypass authentication via a SAML assertion that lacks a Signature element, aka a "Signature exclusion attack," a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4418.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Language Pack Installer improperly handles file operations, aka 'Windows Language Pack Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'. Note this is due to axis2 clustering including a dependency to tomcat which is vulnerable to this issue.
