How to Fix CVE-2024-6429
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Authentication portal dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wso2.identity.apps</groupId>
<artifactId>authentication-portal</artifactId>
<version>2.4.4</version>
</dependency>Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.identity.appsHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-6429, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.identity.appsAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Authentication portal in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.4.4), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.identity.apps 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-451: User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information, where the user interface (ui) does not properly represent critical information to the user, allowing the information - or its source - to be obscured or spoofed. this is often a component in phishing attacks. In Authentication portal, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "A content spoofing issue exists in WSO2 Identity Server Apps, specifically in the Authentication Portal, due to improper handling of authentication error messages. When an authentication failure occurs, the portal previously accepted an `authFailureMsg` value supplied via URL and rendered it in the UI without validating it against the resource bundle. An attacker can craft a link that causes the portal to display attacker-controlled text in the error banner, enabling UI misrepresentation and social-engineering.\n\nThe fix validates the message key against the resource bundle and encodes input before rendering. Upgrade to `org.wso2.identity.apps:authentication-portal` **2.4.4** or later to remediate.",
