Description
In deployments of WSO2 Identity Server configured with a case-insensitive user store and a case-sensitive database for identity data, mismatches in username case handling can occur. This inconsistency results in OAuth token revocation operations failing to correctly identify usernames containing mixed-case characters during certain lifecycle events, preventing tokens from being invalidated.

A malicious actor can exploit this vulnerability by possessing a valid access or refresh token associated with a mixed-case username. In affected configurations, these tokens may not be revoked when expected. The actor can then leverage these unrevoked tokens, before their expiry, to continue performing actions that should have been restricted, effectively bypassing intended access controls.

AI Analysis

Impact

In deployments of WSO2 Identity Server where the user store is case‑insensitive but the database is case‑sensitive, a mismatch in username case handling can cause OAuth token revocation operations to miss users whose usernames contain mixed‑case characters during certain lifecycle events. Consequently, valid access or refresh tokens tied to such usernames fail to be invalidated and remain usable beyond their intended window, allowing an attacker possessing such a token to continue performing actions that should have been restricted.

Affected Systems

WSO2 Carbon OAuth and WSO2 Identity Server are affected when configured with a case‑insensitive user store and a case‑sensitive database for identity data. No specific product versions are listed; the vulnerability exists in all configurations that meet these conditions.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.4 indicates high risk, and the EPSS score is not available, while the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Based on the description, the attacker must hold a valid token and trigger a lifecycle event that initiates token revocation; this implies that the threat is most likely carried out by an authenticated or insider actor who can submit the revocation request, although a stolen token could also enable an external attacker. The vulnerability remains new and publicly unexploited, but the conditions for exploitation are clearly defined by the description.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Follow the instructions given on https://security.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/security-announcements/security-advisories/2026/WSO2-2026-5387/#solution


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the WSO2 patch or update following the official instructions at the WSO2 security advisory page
  • Verify that the user store and database case sensitivity settings are aligned and that token revocation logic correctly resolves mixed‑case usernames
  • Test revocation of tokens for mixed‑case usernames to confirm the issue has been resolved
