Summary

Several WSO2 products, including WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 Universal Gateway, WSO2 API Control Plane and Forgerock Key Manager Component, are affected. The ForgeRock client does not correctly validate refresh tokens, so a refresh token is accepted as a valid access token (CWE-862). An attacker who obtains a stolen or exposed refresh token can use it to access protected resources without the client credentials that the normal flow requires.

Written with Claude Haiku 5.5 from the sources below · 2026-10-29

Description from the CNA

The ForgeRock client fails to correctly validate refresh tokens. This allows a refresh token to be treated as a valid access token, enabling its use for consuming protected resources. This bypasses the intended security control that requires valid client credentials in addition to a refresh token to obtain a new access token. An attacker who obtains a stolen or exposed refresh token can leverage this vulnerability to directly access protected resources. This is possible because the standard security flow requiring client credentials to exchange a refresh token for an access token is circumvented.
