CVE-2026-59358: Cloud Foundry UAA OAuth token endpoint authentication bypass

CVE-2026-59358 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-06

Cloud Foundry UAA is an identity and access management system that manages OAuth tokens for cloud applications. An authenticated user with a valid access token can obtain an administrator-level token for OAuth clients they do not own, allowing them to create new clients and grant arbitrary permissions. This vulnerability requires the target OAuth client to be misconfigured to support both public user flows and automated client_credentials flows, which is not the default setup.

Technologies: Cloud Foundry UAA. Vendors: Cloud Foundry.

Technical details

The OAuth token endpoint in Cloud Foundry UAA fails to properly validate that Bearer credentials supplied during client authentication are actually client secrets or valid client authentication methods. Instead, it accepts any valid access token matching the requested client_id. An attacker holding a normal user access token (with only uaa.user scope) can replay it as Bearer authentication on a client_credentials grant request to obtain a full client credentials token with all the client's authorities, including clients.write. Exploitation requires the target client to be configured for both public authorization_code+PKCE flows and client_credentials grants—a non-default configuration.
