CVE-2021-22696: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

April 2, 2021 (updated November 7, 2023)

Instead of sending a JWT token as a request parameter, the spec also supports specifying a URI from which to retrieve a JWT token from via the request_uri parameter. CXF was not validating the request_uri parameter and was making a REST request to the parameter in the request to retrieve a token.
