Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-78336 is an insertion of sensitive information into sent data vulnerability (CWE-201) in Apache Syncope. Authenticated users querying the list of configured OIDC providers for SSO via Console and Enduser interfaces receive a payload containing all configuration details, including client secrets, without entitlement checks. This exposure affects Apache Syncope versions >=3.0.0-M0 <=3.0.16, >=4.0.0-M0 <=4.0.7, and >=4.1.0-M0 <=4.1.2. The issue is addressed in versions 4.0.8 and 4.1.3.

Potential Impact

Any authenticated user can access sensitive configuration information, including client secrets for OIDC providers, which could lead to unauthorized access or misuse of authentication mechanisms. The exposure is due to lack of entitlement checks when returning configuration data.

Mitigation Recommendations

Users should upgrade Apache Syncope to version 4.0.8 or 4.1.3, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
