Apache CXF: Inoperative max_age authentication-freshness check in OidcClientCodeRequestFilter

Published Oct 9, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.1 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The max_age authentication-freshness check in OidcClientCodeRequestFilter was inoperative due to a milliseconds/seconds unit mismatch and an inverted comparison polarity. Any relying party using setMaxAgeOffset to enforce re-authentication would silently accept sessions of any age, bypassing step-up authentication policies. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.4 or 4.1.9 or 3.6.13, which fix this issue.
