Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-27 06:30 – Updated: 2025-03-03 19:50

Summary

WSO2 incorrect authorization vulnerability

Details

Exploitation requires an attacker to obtain a valid refresh token of an admin user. Since refresh tokens generally have a longer expiration time, this could lead to prolonged unauthorized access to API resources, impacting data confidentiality and integrity.

Severity

5.6 (Medium)

CVE-2024-2321 (GCVE-0-2024-2321)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-02-27 04:08 – Updated: 2025-02-27 14:43

Title

Incorrect Authorization in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows API Access via Refresh Token

Summary

An incorrect authorization vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products, allowing protected APIs to be accessed directly using a refresh token instead of the expected access token. Due to improper authorization checks and token mapping, session cookies are not required for API access, potentially enabling unauthorized operations. Exploitation requires an attacker to obtain a valid refresh token of an admin user. Since refresh tokens generally have a longer expiration time, this could lead to prolonged unauthorized access to API resources, impacting data confidentiality and integrity.
