AI-GeneratedA critical privilege assignment vulnerability in Apache Syncope allows attackers to escalate their privileges to admin level by exploiting disclosed JWKS settings for internal JWT authentication. This affects versions 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2. Organizations using these versions should prioritize upgrading to 4.0.8 or 4.1.3 to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access.
