Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
WSO2 Identity Server exposes a user-enumeration weakness in its SMS OTP login flow: the error messages returned when the OTP challenge is initiated differ depending on whether the supplied account exists, giving unauthenticated remote attackers a way to confirm valid usernames. The signal is strongest for accounts that have no mobile number registered, which produce a distinct response. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 3.1 score is only 3.7 — the practical value to an attacker is the harvested username list, which feeds later brute-force and social-engineering campaigns rather than yielding direct compromise.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
The SMS OTP flow fails to adequately handle error messages, allowing an attacker to infer the existence of registered user accounts based on the responses received during the OTP initiation process.
This weakness can be exploited by an attacker to discover valid usernames within the system. The impact is amplified for accounts that have not configured a mobile number, as the enumeration is specifically tied to this condition. The discovery of these usernames can facilitate subsequent brute force attacks, social engineering attempts, and information leakage, potentially leading to reputational damage, loss of customer trust, and regulatory non-compliance.
