Apache Oltu 4.x CRLF Injection via AuthUtils before v4.2.2
CVE-2026-50630 Published on June 12, 2026
Apache CXF: OAuth2: HTTP Response Splitting via WWW-Authenticate Realm Injection
A CRLF injection vulnerability exists in the OAuth2 AuthorizationUtils class. When constructing the WWW-Authenticate response header, the 'realm' parameter is concatenated without sanitizing Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) characters. If an attacker can control the realm value, they can inject arbitrary HTTP headers or split the HTTP response entirely. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fixes this issue.
