    Description

      Lets take this senario.
      There is a service which has an operational policy to sign the soap headers and has engaged security at the operational level. There is a soap action to this operation and in normal case users supposed to send a soap action. so at the service level operation is dispatched using the soap action and signature verification is done.
      Lets say an intruder send a soap message without signing and without a soapaction. then the operation is not dispatched before the security phase and hence security verification is not being done. So the message which does not have any security headers passes through.
      then this will dispatch with soapBodyBased dispatching and finally it hits the MR.
      So this is a security hole.
