----------------------------------
Assignee: Tomasz Sztelak (was: Dan Diephouse)
Fix Version/s: 1.2.7
> CommonsHttpMessageSender doesn't reset AuthenticationPreemptive
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XFIRE-1034
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XFIRE-1034
> Project: XFire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Mike Wiesner
> Assignee: Tomasz Sztelak
> Fix For: 1.2.7
>
>
> In the open method of CommonsHttpMessageSender the private method
> getCredentials is called if the Property Channel.USERNAME is set. In this
> method the setAuthenticationPreemptive of the underlaying Commons Http Client
> is set, and it als returns the Credentials for Commons Http Client.
> If for some reason, maybe user logged out, the username isn't set any more,
> the setAuthenticationPreemptive and the credentials in the Commons Http
> Client aren't reseted, and therefore it still makes Basic Authentication,
> which is a seriously security bug.
> Here is the actual code:
> if (username != null)
> {
> client.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);
> String password = (String)
> context.getContextualProperty(Channel.PASSWORD);
> state.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, getCredentials(username,
> password));
> }
> To enforce the reset there should also be an else condition like that:
> else
> {
> client.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(false);
> state.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, null);
> }
> By the way, the method getCredentials shouldn't be private, so that you can
> subclass it and set your own Credentials instance rather then only setting
> username and password as Strings
