> Possible Security Hole
> ----------------------
>
> Key: RAMPART-127
> 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.
