OVERVIEW

Broken Authentication Vulnerability.

DESCRIPTION

Broken Authentication vulnerability occurs when StartTLSEnabled property is set to true in the LDAP user store configuration.

IMPACT

This vulnerability allows anyone to log in if a valid username is known. However, StartTLSEnabled is not set to true by default. Therefore, a deployment is not impacted unless that configuration is turned on explicitly.

SOLUTION

If you are using an affected product version, it is highly recommended to migrate to the latest released version to receive security fixes.

Otherwise, you may apply the relevant fixes to the product based on the public fix(s):

Info

If you are a WSO2 customer with a support subscription, use WSO2 Update Manager(WUM) updates in order to apply the fix to the affected versions.
