WSO2 Identity Server FIDO Auth Bypass Leads to User Impersonation
CVE-2025-0672 Published on September 23, 2025

Authentication Bypass in Multiple WSO2 Products via Stale FIDO Credential Association
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products when FIDO authentication is enabled. When a user account is deleted, the system does not automatically remove associated FIDO registration data. If a new user account is later created using the same username, the system may associate the new account with the previously registered FIDO device. This flaw may allow a previously deleted user to authenticate using their FIDO credentials and impersonate the newly created user, resulting in unauthorized access. The vulnerability applies only to deployments that utilize FIDO-based authentication.
