Authenticated API access via failed token introspection
Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2025
Authentication bypass in APIcast before 2.14.1 allows remote authenticated users to access subscribed services with revoked or expired tokens. The Token Introspection policy reads the removed token_introspection_endpoint discovery field in use_3scale_oidc_issuer_endpoint mode and treats the missing result as valid instead of inspecting the token. Attackers must obtain a token for an authorized client; APIcast still rejects client IDs without a service subscription.
