Feature Request: Update SAAJ API bundle to 1.4 in AEM 6.5 LTS

We use Apache CXF for SOAP and REST clients on AEM 6.5.2 LTS and install the necessary bundles in AEM. Currently we are forced to use Apache CXF 3.3.13, which was released in March 2022, because AEM still ships with org.apache.servicemix.specs.saaj-api-1.3, and newer versions of Apache CXF require saaj-api-1.4.

 

There are a number of security vulnerabilities in Apache CXF that have since been patched since 2022 that we would like to remediate, see https://cxf.apache.org/security-advisories.html.

 

Our goal would be to install Apache CXF 3.6.x, currently 3.6.10, as that is still actively supported, but the old SAAJ API is preventing us from doing that, see javax.xml.soap,version=[1.4,2) -- Cannot be resolved:

 

Our ask is for AEM to upgrade to saaj-api-1.4, which would unblock us from upgrading Apache CXF.

I can provide a full list of bundle JARs that we install related to Apache CXF if needed.
