Subject: CVE-2026-68481: Apache CXF: Revocation bypass in
 DefaultEncryptingOAuthDataProvider 

Severity: low 

Affected versions:

- Apache CXF (org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-oauth2) 4.2.0 before 4.2.3
- Apache CXF (org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-oauth2) 4.0.0 before 4.1.8
- Apache CXF (org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-rs-security-oauth2) before 3.6.12

Description:

In Apache CXF's DefaultEncryptingOAuthDataProvider, revoked access tokens still decrypt successfully, and TokenIntrospectionService reports active:true. The same applies to refresh tokens. This violates the RFC stipulations that 'The authorization server MUST invalidate the token.' and 'introspection of a revoked token MUST return {"active":false}'. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
