</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-1440, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authentication.endpoint.util in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.0.111), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.carbon.identity.framework command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), where the web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect. In Org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.authentication.endpoint.util, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

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.
