Summary

WSO2 Identity Server fails to enforce a default expiry time for SMS One-Time Passwords (OTPs) used in MFA. Unused OTPs remain valid indefinitely, allowing attackers to conduct brute force attacks by repeatedly guessing the code. A successful attack can lead to MFA bypass and unauthorized account takeover.

Risk Assessment

Risk includes unauthorized account takeover through MFA bypass, potentially compromising security and privacy of data.

Recommendation

Configure a default expiry time for SMS OTPs in WSO2 Identity Server. Implement mechanisms to limit guessing attempts.

Original NVD description (English source)

The WSO2 Identity Server fails to enforce a default expiry time for SMS One-Time Passwords (OTPs) used in multi-factor authentication (MFA). This allows unused OTPs to remain valid indefinitely, presenting an opportunity for malicious actors to conduct brute force attacks by repeatedly guessing the OTP. The absence of automatic expiration for OTPs grants attackers an unlimited timeframe to attempt guessing the correct code. A successful brute force attack can lead to an MFA bypass, resulting in the unauthorized takeover of a user's account and compromising the security and privacy of both the individual and the system.
