No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-7478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-7478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-7478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-7478/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-7478","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5qcp-39qg-fmp5"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"WSO2","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-204","name":"Observable Response Discrepancy"}],"description":"When a WSO2 product is configured to use an external user store, the system fails to adequately obscure the existence or validity of usernames during authentication attempts. This oversight allows an attacker to repeatedly query the authentication mechanism with different username guesses, enabling the enumeration of valid usernames present in the external user store.\n\nThe discovery of valid usernames can increase the risk of targeted brute-force attacks, social engineering, and information leakage. Attackers can leverage this information to craft more convincing phishing campaigns or other social engineering tactics to trick users into revealing sensitive data. The presence of username enumeration could also negatively impact an organization's reputation, leading to loss of customer trust, regulatory non-compliance, and potential legal and financial repercussions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Username Enumeration via External User Stores in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows User Account Discovery","id":"CVE-2024-7478","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Improper signature verification of VPN driver installation in TeamViewer Remote Clients","id":"CVE-2024-7479"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Avaya Aura System Manager SQL injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-7477"},"products":["WSO2 API Manager","WSO2 Carborn Identity Handler","WSO2 Identity Server","WSO2 Identity Server as Key Manager","WSO2 Open Banking AM","WSO2 Open Banking IAM"],"published":"2026-10-21","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["WSO2"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-7478/"}
