Description
Wallos is an open-source, self-hostable personal subscription tracker. From version 4.0.0 to before version 4.9.6, Wallos's OIDC login links an incoming OIDC identity to an existing local account by matching the email claim alone, without verifying that the IdP marked that email as verified (email_verified). When Wallos is configured against an IdP that lets a user present an arbitrary or unverified email (multi-tenant IdPs, IdPs with open self-registration, or any IdP the attacker partly controls), an attacker with no Wallos account can authenticate with the admin's email and be logged in as the admin — full account takeover, no password needed. This issue has been patched in version 4.9.6.

AI Analysis

Impact

Wallos 4.0.0 through 4.9.5 would link an incoming OpenID Connect identity to a local user account by comparing only the provided e‑mail address, ignoring whether the identity provider has verified that e‑mail. An attacker who can create or control an identity provider that presents an arbitrary or unverified e‑mail can authenticate using the e‑mail address of an existing Wallos account—typically the administrator—and be logged in as that account without knowing any password. This is an authentication bypass that grants full access to the victim account.

Affected Systems

Ellite’s Wallos component, versions 4.0.0 up to (but not including) 4.9.6. Any installation configured to allow cross‑tenant or self‑registered OIDC identities without an email verification check is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.1 points to high severity, and the EPSS score is not available, so a precise exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is listed as not in the CISA KEV catalog, but the exploit path requires only an OIDC provider that accepts arbitrary e‑mails, a scenario common in multi‑tenant or self‑signup configurations. Consequently the risk of compromise is high if an attacker can register a domain or use a compromised tenant.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Wallos to version 4.9.6 or later to apply the authentication check fix
  • Configure the OIDC provider to only issue the email_verified claim for e‑mail addresses that have been verified
  • Restrict your OIDC configuration so that only verified e‑mail addresses can be accepted for account linking
  • Disable open self‑registration or cross‑tenant OIDC identities if you cannot enforce verification
