AFFECTED PRODUCTS

  • WSO2 Identity Server: 7.2.0, 7.1.0

OVERVIEW

Potential username enumeration.

DESCRIPTION

Due to improper error message handling in the SMS OTP flow, an attacker could exploit this behavior to enumerate registered users. This issue affects only accounts that have not configured a mobile number.

IMPACT

The discovery of valid usernames can increase the risk of brute force attacks, social engineering attacks, and information leakage. Attackers can use the list of usernames to craft targeted phishing emails or other social engineering attacks to trick users into divulging sensitive information. Moreover, the presence of username enumeration could damage the reputation of the organization responsible for the system and lead to loss of customer trust, regulatory non-compliance, and legal and financial consequences.
