AI-suggested

Users should upgrade Apache Syncope to version 4.0.8 or 4.1.3, which contain fixes for this vulnerability. Proper configuration of the Syncope Reverse Proxy to include a JWKS set URI for OAuth 2.0 is also essential to prevent exploitation.

Description

Improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in Apache Syncope. When SRA is configured for OAuth 2.0 without JWKS set URI assigned, an attacker can forge arbitrary JWTs to impersonate any user identity and permissions, gaining full access to services proxied by SRA. This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.8 / 4.1.3, which fix this issue.
