Summary

WSO2 Identity Server from 7.0.0 before 7.0.0.37 does not apply reCaptcha to certain authentication flows, even when the reCaptcha option is enabled. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass this protection and attempt brute force attacks against user credentials, which can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts and sensitive information. The flaw is tracked as CWE-306.

Description from the CNA

Due to an incomplete implementation, reCaptcha is not applied to certain authentication flows even when the reCaptcha option is enabled. This oversight permits attackers to bypass the intended protection mechanism. Brute force attacks, if successful, can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts and sensitive information by systematically attempting various credential combinations.
