In the StAX streaming WS-SecurityPolicy validator, certain relative or unsupported XPath expressions can be converted into paths that never match the actual XML element path. A remote SOAP peer may therefore send a required element without the expected signature or encryption. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.0.2 or 3.0.6 or 2.4.4, which fix this issue.
