MEDIUMWSO2 Identity Server Apps allows content spoofing in logs
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
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.
The 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.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.wso2.identity.apps:authentication-portal. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.wso2.identity.apps:authentication-portal to 2.4.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r6f3-55wj-g9p3 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-r6f3-55wj-g9p3 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-r6f3-55wj-g9p3. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-r6f3-55wj-g9p3 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-r6f3-55wj-g9p3 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
