Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in WSO2 Identity Server and Conditional Authentication User and Roles Related Functions (the affected version unknown) and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the component Organization Context Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a missing initialization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-456. The product does not initialize critical variables, which causes the execution environment to use unexpected values. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Due to not validating the organization context when executing adaptive authentication flows, the WSO2 Identity Server allows adaptive authentication logic to be triggered on unintended organizations. A malicious actor with privileges to configure adaptive authentication within one organization can leverage this functionality to execute authentication logic on other organizations and sub-organizations. This flaw allows bypassing authorization boundaries between organizations, leading to unauthorized access to critical operations and user accounts in other organizations. When adaptive authentication is enabled in a multi-organization deployment, a malicious actor with privileges to configure adaptive authentication in one organization could exploit this feature to perform critical operations in other organizations without authorization. This may result in privilege escalation, unauthorized access to resources, and potential account takeover across organizations.

The advisory is shared for download at security.docs.wso2.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2025-9973 since 09/04/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy.
