CVE-2019-17573

By default, Apache CXF creates a /services page containing a listing of the available endpoint names and addresses. This webpage is vulnerable to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack, which allows a malicious actor to inject javascript into the web page. Please note that the attack exploits a feature which is not typically not present in modern browsers, who remove dot segments before sending the request. However, Mobile applications may be vulnerable.

Mitigation

Mitigate this flaw by disabling the service listing altogether; via setting the "hide-service-list-page" servlet parameter to "true".
