Technical details

The vulnerability is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in the UMA resource registration endpoint, caused by a missing ownership check. An authenticated attacker with the uma_protection role can update resources they do not own by providing a target resource ID in the request, allowing modification of resource names, URIs, and scopes. The attack requires valid credentials and knowledge of the target resource ID.
