Axis 2 Service Requester Misconfiguration: Unsigned Outbound Timestamp
Abstract
An unsigned timestamp can leave a SOAP message open to tampering and replay attacks.
Explanation
A Security timestamp indicates a message's freshness. If an attacker intercepts a message retransmits it at a later time, the receiver can reject the replay attack because the timestamp will indicate that the message is stale. Optionally, timestamps can include an expiration attribute which places a hard limit on how long security semantics are valid.
To prevent attackers from tampering with timestamps, timestamps should be signed. Without a signed timestamp, an attacker may intercept a SOAP message, modify the timestamp, and send the message on without the receiver's knowledge. Under these circumstances, an attacker may potentially trick a recipient into accepting a malicious message.
The following client configuration tells Axis 2 to send unsigned timestamps:
