What is CVE-2016-4464?

The Apache CXF Fediz application has a vulnerability in its plugin handling. Specifically, it fails to properly match SAML AudienceRestriction values with the configured audience URIs. This lack of validation can enable remote attackers to bypass the intended restrictions, potentially allowing unauthorized access and manipulation through the use of a crafted SAML token containing a trusted signature.
