CVE-2024-1440

An open redirection vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to improper validation of the multi-option URL in the authentication endpoint when multi-option authentication is enabled. A malicious actor can craft a valid link that redirects users to an attacker-controlled site.

By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker may trick users into visiting a malicious page, enabling phishing attacks to harvest sensitive information or perform other harmful actions.

Untrusted input controls a URL used for redirection, which can forward users to attacker-controlled sites. Typical impact: phishing and credential harvesting via a trusted domain.

CVE-2024-1440 has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (7.0.111, 5.25.707); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

1. What is CVE-2024-1440? CVE-2024-1440 is a medium-severity open redirect vulnerability in org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework:org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authentication.endpoint.util (maven), affecting versions >= 6.0.0, < 7.0.111. It is fixed in 7.0.111, 5.25.707. Untrusted input controls a URL used for redirection, which can forward users to attacker-controlled sites.
2. How severe is CVE-2024-1440? CVE-2024-1440 has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
3. Which versions of org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework:org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authentication.endpoint.util are affected by CVE-2024-1440? org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework:org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authentication.endpoint.util (maven) versions >= 6.0.0, < 7.0.111 is affected.
4. Is there a fix for CVE-2024-1440? Yes. CVE-2024-1440 is fixed in 7.0.111, 5.25.707. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is CVE-2024-1440 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-1440 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether CVE-2024-1440 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
7. How do I fix CVE-2024-1440?
   • Upgrade org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework:org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authentication.endpoint.util to 7.0.111 or later
   • Upgrade org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework:org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authentication.endpoint.util to 5.25.707 or later
