CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/287.html

Apache WSS4J before 1.6.17 and 2.x before 2.0.2, as used in Apache CXF 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and 3.0.x before 3.0.2, when using TransportBinding, does not properly enforce the SAML SubjectConfirmation method security semantics, which allows remote attackers to conduct spoofing attacks via unspecified vectors.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
