[jira] [Updated] (CXF-8435) JsonMapObjectReaderWriter doesn't escape double quotes

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8435?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Alonso Gonzalez updated CXF-8435:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
JsonMapObjectReaderWriter doesn't escape double quotes in JWT claim values. The method "toJsonInternal" appends String values without any modifications/checks.

 

If the value of a claim contains double quotes, it's possible to manipulate the generated JSON. This is especially problematic if user supplied values are included.

 

I've added an example program where the expiration of a JWT is set to 5 minutes. The value of the claim "userInput" is set to <<a","exp":9999999999,"b":"x>>.

JwsJwtCompactProducer (using JsonMapObjectReaderWriter) generates this JSON body:  \{"exp":1615227615,"userInput":"a","exp":9999999999,"b":"x"}

 

If the parsing library (like CXF itself) overwrites duplicate claims, the last occurence of a claim wins. This allows a malicious user to manipulate server generated claims with his own values.
