Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache TomEE (org.apache.openejb:openejb-cxf) 4.0.0-beta-1 through 4.7.5
- Apache TomEE (org.apache.tomee:openejb-cxf) 7.0.0-M1 before 10.0.0-M1
- Apache TomEE (org.apache.tomee:openejb-cxf) 10.0.0-M1 before 10.3.0
- Apache TomEE (org.apache.tomee:openejb-cxf) 11.0.0-M1 before 11.0.0-M2

Description:

After a successful WS-Security UsernameToken authentication, the caller 
identity stays associated with the worker thread once the request completes 
when web services are served by the standalone OpenEJB HTTP server. A remote 
unauthenticated attacker whose request is later processed on the same thread 
can invoke protected EJB methods with the identity of a previously 
authenticated user. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 
11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
