If you cannot patch yet, it is recommended to keep the 'authorize_all_scopes' configuration disabled (its default state) to prevent unauthorized scope escalation. Review and restrict client credentials grant usage and monitor for any unauthorized access attempts related to scope authorization.
Description
CVE-2025-11229 is a vulnerability where the system does not properly enforce scope authorization when the 'authorize_all_scopes' configuration is enabled. This misconfiguration allows applications using the client credentials grant type to obtain all API scopes, including sensitive internal and console scopes, without explicit authorization. Exploitation can lead to privilege escalation, unauthorized administrative actions, access to confidential data, and potential full account takeover in affected deployments.
