Technical details
The vulnerability is a capture-replay attack against WSSE digest authentication in the AtomPub API endpoint. The flaw stems from the authentication mechanism not validating nonce uniqueness or timestamp freshness, allowing an attacker with network access to capture a valid authentication header and reuse it to assume the victim's API credentials. The fix removes WSSE authentication entirely from AtomPub and requires affected installations to explicitly reconfigure to a supported authentication method.
