AFFECTED PRODUCTS
WSO2 Identity Server : 5.4.0 , 5.4.1 , 5.5.0 , 5.6.0

OVERVIEW
An authentication and authorization bypass vulnerability has been detected in SCIM 2.0 API.
DESCRIPTION
If the /scim2 endpoint of WSO2 Identity Server is exposed to public, an attacker would be able to bypass the authentication and authorization of SCIM 2.0 API and execute the operations in the API.
IMPACT
By exploiting the vulnerability, an attacker would be able to get a user account created with higher level of permissions bound to it and perform the actions in the system that the particular user account is permitted to.
SOLUTION
The recommended solution is to modify the following configuration under the <ResourceAccessControl> element in IS_HOME/repository/conf/identity/identity.xml file and restart the server. Find the existing configuration and replace each entry with the new configuration.
