Cross-tenant account takeover via shared cookie-signing key
Published Sep 23, 2025 · Updated Sep 23, 2025
Authentication bypass in multiple WSO2 products allows remote authenticated users to take over cross-tenant accounts via forged cookies. Adaptive Authentication signs every tenant's Auto-Login cookies with one cryptographic key, enabling a privileged tenant user to mint cookies for other tenants. Exploitation requires high-privileged access to Adaptive Authentication and enabled Auto-Login; successful forgery impersonates a victim account across tenant boundaries.
