Short explanation
When the `authorize_all_scopes` setting is enabled in WSO2 Identity Server and Identity Application Management Component, the client credentials grant type can obtain all API scopes without authorization. This enables unprivileged clients to perform admin actions, access confidential data, and achieve full account takeover (CVSS 7.2, HIGH).
Unprivileged clients gaining admin privileges severely threatens system integrity and data confidentiality.
What should be done?
- monitor vendor advisory
- set authorize_all_scopes to default disabled
- track patches for affected versions
- temporarily restrict client credentials grant
Chain of evidence and sources
`authorize_all_scopes` ayarı etkin olduğunda client credentials grant tüm API kapsamlarını yetkisiz olarak alabilir (S0, S1).
Yama durumu resmi kaynaklarda doğrulanamadı; durum UNKNOWN olarak raporlanmıştır (S0).
Show the technical text from the sources
The system fails to properly enforce scope authorization when the `authorize_all_scopes` configuration is enabled. This allows applications using the client credentials grant type to obtain all API scopes, including sensitive internal and console scopes, without requiring explicit authorization, bypassing intended access controls. Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to privilege escalation, enabling unprivileged clients to perform unauthorized administrative actions, access confidential organizational data, and potentially achieve full account takeover in deployments where the `authorize_all_scopes` configuration deviates from its default disabled state.
