Description

Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Data Queries vulnerability in Apache Syncope. An administrator with adequate entitlements for Derived Schemas can create a malicious JEXL expression which allows any administrator with sufficient entitlements for User read to access User-related security-sensitive information. This issue affects Apache Syncope: 3.0 through 3.0.16, 4.0 through 4.0.5, 4.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.6 / 4.1.1, which fix this issue by further restricting the JEXL expression definition.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

3.0 ≤ v ≤ 3.0.163.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 3.0.164.0 ≤ v ≤ 4.0.54.0.0 ≤ v < 4.0.63.04.04.14.1.0
Affected range stops below 4.0.6, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
