                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAMPART-127
             Project: Rampart
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: rampart-core
    Affects Versions: 1.3
            Reporter: Amila Chinthaka Suriarachchi
            Priority: Critical


Lets take this senario.
There is a service which has an operational policy to sign the soap headers and 
has engaged security at the operational level. There is a soap action to this 
operation and in normal case users supposed to send a soap action. so at the 
service level operation is dispatched using the soap action and signature 
verification is done.
Lets say an intruder send a soap message without signing and without a 
soapaction. then the operation is not dispatched before the security phase and 
hence security verification is not being done. So the message which does not 
have any security headers passes through.
then this will dispatch with soapBodyBased dispatching and finally it hits the 
MR.
So this is a security hole.
