> 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.
