Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A race condition in JCacheCodeDataProvider allows an attacker to redeem a single authorization code multiple times via concurrent requests, resulting in the issuance of multiple distinct, valid access tokens. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3, 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Recommended fix High confidence

CXF 3.6.12, 4.1.8, or 4.2.3 (depending on current major version)

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed Apache CXF version in your project (check pom.xml or dependency management)
  2. 2. Determine which upgrade path applies based on current version: for CXF 3.x go to 3.6.12; for CXF 4.0.0-4.1.x go to 4.1.8; for CXF 4.2.0-4.2.2 go to 4.2.3
  3. 3. Update the CXF dependency version in your build configuration (pom.xml, build.gradle, etc.) to the appropriate fixed version
  4. 4. Rebuild and test the application to verify the upgrade does not introduce regressions
  5. 5. Deploy the updated application
Caveat Review the release notes for your target version to check for any breaking changes specific to your use case
