What is CVE-2010-2057?

The vulnerability stems from the use of an encrypted View State in Apache MyFaces that lacks a Message Authentication Code (MAC). This design flaw opens the door for remote attackers to exploit padding oracle attacks, enabling them to alter the View State without proper validation. Such modifications can lead to unauthorized actions within web applications that leverage this framework, posing significant security risks.
