Network-accessible with no auth required; full identity impersonation yields C:H and I:H across proxied downstream services (S:C); no availability impact; AC:L because exploitation is straightforward once a vulnerable target is identified.

Improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in Apache Syncope.
When SRA is configured for OAuth 2.0 without JWKS set URI assigned, an attacker can forge arbitrary JWTs to impersonate any user identity and permissions, gaining full access to services proxied by SRA.
This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.8 / 4.1.3, which fix this issue.
AnalysisAI
JWT signature bypass in Apache Syncope's SRA (Syncope Reverse Application) component enables unauthenticated network attackers to forge arbitrary JWT bearer tokens when the OAuth 2.0 integration is configured without a JWKS set URI, effectively eliminating all cryptographic identity verification for services proxied through SRA. The vulnerability spans three release lines - 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2 - and vendor-released fixes are available in 4.0.8 and 4.1.3. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two simultaneous server-side conditions: the Apache Syncope SRA (Syncope Reverse Application) component must be deployed and configured for OAuth 2.0 bearer-token authentication, AND no JWKS set URI must be assigned in that OAuth 2.0 configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | No CVSS vector or EPSS score was supplied in the input, so risk must be independently assessed from the description. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Apache Syncope 4.0.8 or 4.1.3, confirmed by the vendor as the authoritative fix; see the Apache mailing list advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/gx83cootj00kn8hqd73x1bp8441np33d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
