DescriptionCVE.org
When the "Silent Just-In-Time Provisioning" feature is enabled for a federated identity provider (IDP) there is a risk that a local user store user's information may be replaced during the account provisioning process in cases where federated users share the same username as local users.
There will be no impact on your deployment if any of the preconditions mentioned below are not met. Only when all the preconditions mentioned below are fulfilled could a malicious actor associate a targeted local user account with a federated IDP user account that they control.
The Deployment should have: -An IDP configured for federated authentication with Silent JIT provisioning enabled.
The malicious actor should have: -A fresh valid user account in the federated IDP that has not been used earlier. -Knowledge of the username of a valid user in the local IDP. -An account at the federated IDP matching the targeted local username.
Executive ViewAI
This vulnerability threatens organizations using federated identity management, where attackers could hijack local user accounts by exploiting the Silent Just-In-Time Provisioning feature. If a federated user shares a username with an internal employee, an attacker could replace the legitimate employee's account credentials during the provisioning process, enabling unauthorized access to critical systems and data.
Disable Silent Just-In-Time Provisioning feature immediately on all federated identity providers; implement username uniqueness validation to block federated provisioning when local accounts match; enforce explicit manual approval for all federated account provisioning; segment network access to restrict lateral movement from compromised federated accounts; deploy enhanced logging and alerting on user provisioning events to detect suspicious account modifications.
