Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account per the CVSS vector (PR:L - a low-privileged but non-anonymous user), and the specific trigger is the Connectors and Resources connectivity 'check' feature: the attacker must be able to invoke that check and control the destination endpoint it targets. Limiting factors: valid credentials with entitlement to create/edit or test a connector or resource are mandatory (so anonymous internet exploitation is not possible), and no user interaction from a victim is needed (UI:N). The realized impact is further bounded by network reachability - the value of the SSRF depends on what internal services the Syncope host can actually contact, and by whether the reachable endpoints permit sensitive reads or state-changing writes.

Impact

Signals are moderately consistent but not alarming. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) points to network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation by an authenticated low-privileged user, which matches the description of a low-privileged authenticated SSRF. CISA's SSVC framing reinforces a wait-and-watch posture: Exploitation 'none' (no observed activity) and Automatable 'no' (an attacker cannot trivially mass-exploit because they must first hold valid low-privileged credentials), yet Technical Impact 'total,' consistent with the C:H/I:H rating. No EPSS score and no KEV listing are present in the data, and no proof-of-concept is referenced, so this is a high-CVSS issue whose real-world urgency is tempered by the authentication prerequisite and lack of any exploitation evidence. One caveat to verify: the vector's I:H is generous for a read-oriented SSRF - pure SSRF often yields confidentiality more than integrity - so the true integrity impact depends on what internal write-capable endpoints the Syncope host can reach.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds a low-privileged authenticated Syncope account (or phishes/compromises a delegated operator) navigates to the connector or resource configuration and points the connectivity check at an internal-only address such as a cloud metadata service or an internal admin API. Syncope, running with the server's network trust, issues the request and returns or acts on the response, letting the attacker reach systems they could not otherwise touch from their own vantage. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the low attack complexity (AC:L) means the request itself is straightforward once authenticated.

AnalysisAIv2 – Jul 21, 2026

Server-Side Request Forgery in Apache Syncope lets a low-privileged authenticated user abuse the Connectors and Resources connectivity check to coerce the server into issuing arbitrary outbound requests. Affected builds span the 3.0.x, 4.0.x, and 4.1.x lines up to 3.0.16, 4.0.6, and 4.1.1 respectively, with high confidentiality and integrity impact per the CVSS 8.1 rating. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC scores exploitation as 'none,' but the total technical impact and low privilege bar make this a meaningful internal-network exposure.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Jul 20, 2026 - 15:07

Server-Side Request Forgery in Apache Syncope's Connectors and Resources check endpoint allows low-privileged authenticated users to induce the server to issue arbitrary HTTP requests to internal or external targets. Affected versions span three active release trains: 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.6, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.1. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the low privilege bar makes this a meaningful lateral movement and internal reconnaissance risk in any environment where untrusted users hold Syncope accounts.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache Syncope 4.0.7 or 4.1.2, which fix this issue; the 3.0.x line has no fixed version cited in the provided data, so 3.0.x operators should plan a migration to a patched 4.0.7/4.1.2 build and confirm 3.0.x guidance directly with the Apache advisory (https://lists.apache.org/thread/n632drbsmfr6t3p6jt6jwbjvokqdyszb). Until patched, restrict who can create or run connector/resource connectivity checks by tightening Syncope entitlements so only fully trusted administrators hold connector/resource management rights (side effect: reduces delegated-admin flexibility), and place the Syncope core behind egress filtering that limits outbound connections from the application host to only the known, legitimate target systems it must reach (side effect: any new legitimate connector target must be explicitly allowlisted). Network-segmenting the Syncope host away from sensitive internal metadata/management endpoints further blunts SSRF value.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Apache Syncope is an open-source identity governance and provisioning platform (IdM/IGA) that manages users, groups, and their propagation to external systems through 'Connectors' (ConnId bundles) and 'Resources.' When an administrator or delegated operator defines or validates a connector/resource, Syncope performs a connectivity 'check' against the target endpoint supplied in the configuration. CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery) is the root-cause class: the server takes an attacker-influenceable destination and initiates a request to it without adequately restricting the target, so the attacker borrows the server's network position. The single CPE (cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_syncope) confirms the affected artifact is the core Syncope application across all packaging.

DescriptionCVE.org

Low-privileged authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache Syncope via Connectors and Resources check.

This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 Through 4.0.6, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.1.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.7 / 4.1.2, which fix this issue.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Apache Syncope (versions 3.0.x through 3.0.16, 4.0.x through 4.0.6, and 4.1.x through 4.1.1) contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated users with low privilege to force the server to make arbitrary outbound network requests, creating a pathway for internal data exfiltration and lateral movement. No vendor patch is currently available, leaving affected organizations exposed during this remediation window.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict low-privilege user access to connector and resource testing features; implement network-level egress filtering and rate-limiting on outbound connections from Syncope servers; enable comprehensive request and response logging with real-time alerting; consider disabling connector connectivity checks if operationally acceptable; deploy Syncope on isolated network segments with strictly controlled egress rules.
