CVE-2025-11229— Privilege Escalation via Client Credentials Grant Type in WSO2 Identity Server

Quick assessment

Affected
WSO2 WSO2 Identity Server
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

当启用 配置时，系统未能正确实施作用域（scope）授权机制。这导致使用“客户端凭证”（client credentials）授权类型的应用，无需显式授权即可获取所有 API 作用域（包括敏感的内部作用域和控制台作用域），从而绕过预设的访问控制策略。 利用该漏洞可导致权限提升，使未授权客户端执行未经批准的管理操作、访问机密的组织数据，并在 配置偏离其默认禁用状态的部署环境中，可能实现完整的账户接管。

Vulnerability Title
Privilege Escalation via Client Credentials Grant Type in WSO2 Identity Server
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
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.
