CVE-2018-1322apache software foundationapache syncope+2
EPSS score19.92%
An administrator with user search entitlements in Apache Syncope 1.2.x before 1.2.11, 2.0.x before 2.0.8, and unsupported releases 1.0.x and 1.1.x which may be also affected, can recover sensitive security values using the fiql and orderby parameters.CVE-2018-1321apache software foundationapache syncope+2EPSS score17.52%
An administrator with report and template entitlements in Apache Syncope 1.2.x before 1.2.11, 2.0.x before 2.0.8, and unsupported releases 1.0.x and 1.1.x which may be also affected, can use XSL Transformations (XSLT) to perform malicious operations, including but not limited to file read, file write, and code execution.CVE-2018-17184apache software foundationapache syncope+2EPSS score1.20%
A malicious user with enough administration entitlements can inject html-like elements containing JavaScript statements into Connector names, Report names, AnyTypeClass keys and Policy descriptions. When another user with enough administration entitlements edits one of the Entities above via Admin Console, the injected JavaScript code is executed.CVE-2018-17186apache software foundationapache syncope+2EPSS score2.48%
An administrator with workflow definition entitlements can use DTD to perform malicious operations, including but not limited to file read, file write, and code execution.CVE-2025-65998apache software foundationapache syncope+2EPSS score0.51%
Apache Syncope can be configured to store the user password values in the internal database with AES encryption, though this is not the default option.
When AES is configured, the default key value, hard-coded in the source code, is always used. This allows a malicious attacker, once obtained access to the internal database content, to reconstruct the original cleartext password values.
This is not affecting encrypted plain attributes, whose values are also stored using AES encryption.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.15 / 4.0.3, which fix this issue.CVE-2025-57738apache software foundationapache syncope+2EPSS score23.18%
Apache Syncope offers the ability to extend / customize the base behavior on every deployment by allowing to provide custom implementations of a few Java interfaces; such implementations can be provided either as Java or Groovy classes, with the latter being particularly attractive as the machinery is set for runtime reload.
Such a feature has been available for a while, but recently it was discovered that a malicious administrator can inject Groovy code that can be executed remotely by a running Apache Syncope Core instance.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.14 / 4.0.2, which fix this issue by forcing the Groovy code to run in a sandbox.CVE-2024-38503apache software foundationapache syncope+3EPSS score0.71%
When editing a user, group or any object in the Syncope Console, HTML tags could be added to any text field and could lead to potential exploits.
The same vulnerability was found in the Syncope Enduser, when editing “Personal Information” or “User Requests”.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.8, which fixes this issue.CVE-2024-45031apache software foundationapache syncope+2EPSS score0.71%
When editing objects in the Syncope Console, incomplete HTML tags could be used to bypass HTML sanitization. This made it possible to inject stored XSS payloads which would trigger for other users during ordinary usage of the application.
XSS payloads could also be injected in Syncope Enduser when editing “Personal Information” or “User Requests”: such payloads would trigger for administrators in Syncope Console, thus enabling session hijacking.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.9, which fixes this issue.CVE-2026-63071apache software foundationapache syncope+1EPSS score0.75%
Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization vulnerability in Apache Syncope.

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') vulnerability in Apache Syncope.
When the Syncope SRA is configured for CAS authentication, the target Apereo CAS instance's URL is calculated by unconditionally looking at client-supplied forwarded HTTP headers.
This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 Through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.8 / 4.1.3, which fix this issue.CVE-2026-73579apache software foundationapache syncopeEPSS score0.51%
Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Apache Syncope.
Any search requests are transformed into SQL, Neo4J or Elasticsearch / Opensearch queries, depending on the actual deployment configuration.
An important component of such transformation is the Realms filter, which ensures that the search results are matching the requester's permissions.
For non-recursive search requests it is possible that such Realms filter is rendered as empty, thus voiding any restriction on requester privileges.
This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 Through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2.
