SecurityTokenServiceProvider does not handle exceptions properly
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3693
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3693
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.4.1
Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
Fix For: 2.4.2, 2.5
The SecurityTokenServiceProvider shipped from CXF 2.4 onwards does not handle
exceptions properly. There are three issues:
1) For an exception thrown in an STS implementation, the provider returns a
reflection error message as the error String. This is because there is no
specific check for an InvocationTargetException.
2) The exception stacktrace is returned as a Detail, which might reveal
internal information to an attacker
3) There is no way to send back the WS-Trust standard error code/Strings.
Points 1 and 2 are easily fixed. Point 3 will be fixed by extending the
STSException so that a FaultCode (QName) can be set. If it is set on the
exception, the standard code/String will be returned, otherwise the error
message of the exception will be returned.
