Description
Tokens associated with user sessions are not revoked when the corresponding user session is terminated, unless another SSO request is initiated. This occurs when the session-bound token feature is enabled with token binding validation and the "Revoke token upon user logout" option is not active. The software fails to automatically invalidate session-bound tokens upon user session termination.

This vulnerability exists when token binding validation is enabled. As a result, a malicious actor possessing a valid session-bound token could exploit this condition to maintain unauthorized access to applications and resources even after the associated user session has ended, potentially leading to the exposure of sensitive user data.

AI Analysis

Impact

Token binding validation is enabled in multiple WSO2 products, yet session‑bound tokens are not revoked when a user logs out unless the ‘Revoke token upon user logout’ option is active. This flaw means a malicious actor who has a valid session‑bound token can continue to access applications and sensitive resources even after the original user session has ended, exposing user data and potentially enabling further attacks. The weakness is an authentication bypass caused by improper token lifecycle management (CWE-613).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects WSO2 API Control Plane, WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 Carbon OAuth, WSO2 Identity Server, WSO2 Identity Server as Key Manager, WSO2 Open Banking AM, WSO2 Open Banking IAM, WSO2 Traffic Manager, and WSO2 Universal Gateway. No specific version information is provided in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.5, indicating a moderate severity. EPSS data is unavailable and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no widespread exploitation has been documented. The likely attack vector is a malicious actor who acquires a session‑bound token—such as through phishing, credential theft, or token interception—and re‑uses it after the associated user logs out, since the token remains valid until another SSO request triggers revocation. Because the flaw persists even after session termination, an attacker can maintain persistent unauthorized access with the token at hand.
