The module calculates the base URL using the current HttpServletRequest. The calculated base URL is used by FormattedServiceListWriter to build the service endpoint absolute URLs. If the unexpected matrix parameters have been injected into the request URL then these matrix parameters will find their way back to the client in the services list page which represents an XSS risk to the client.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.0","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.1},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["http://cxf.apache.org/security-advisories.data/CVE-2016-6812.txt.asc","http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/97582","http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1037543","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:0868","https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6216"],"products":["apache:cxf"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:44:47.710380879+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2016-6812","score":0.07547,"percentile":0.94513,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-vw2c-5wph-v92r","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-vw2c-5wph-v92r","summary":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation in Apache CXF","modified":"2024-02-22T05:34:42.266110Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.cxf:cxf-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.cxf/cxf-core","ranges":["<3.0.12"],"fixed":["3.0.12"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.cxf:cxf-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.cxf/cxf-core","ranges":[">=3.1.0 <3.1.9"],"fixed":["3.1.9"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
