Detail exceptions in JAASLoginInInterceptor (patch)
---------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3873
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3873
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.5
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Andrei Shakirin
Attachments: SAAJOutInterceptor-patch.java
Hi,
I find one thing in JAASLoginInInterceptor a little bit dangerous from security
perspective - exception handling.
JAASLoginInInterceptor throws different exceptions with detail error messages
in cases:
- if user/password are not defined (SecurityException: NO_USER_PASSWORD)
- and if authentication is failed (AuthenticationException: "Unauthorized : " +
ex.getMessage())
It is very practical for the development, but can give some advices to
malicious application.
I will prefere to throw generic security violation exception for both cases.
Patch is attached
