Description

In Apache CXF&#39;s DefaultEncryptingOAuthDataProvider, revoked access tokens still decrypt successfully, and TokenIntrospectionService reports active:true. The same applies to refresh tokens. This violates the RFC stipulations that &#39;The authorization server MUST invalidate the token.&#39; and &#39;introspection of a revoked token MUST return {"active":false}&#39;. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
