Routine
LOW 3.8UPGRADE

CVE-2025-14779 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.8) affecting identity server. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The Secret Type Management REST API does not correctly isolate access controls when deleting a secret type. The on-delete cascade logic, when triggered, fails to enforce organizational boundaries, leading to the removal of secrets associated with that type across all organizations. Exploitation of this vulnerability can result in the unintended deletion of secrets across the entire deployment, potentially causing configuration failures, service

Why this priority

Timeline

wso2 identity server UPGRADE
Affected: >= 6.0.0 and < 6.0.0.261 · >= 6.1.0 and < 6.1.0.262 · >= 7.1.0 and < 7.1.0.46
Fixed in: 6.0.0.261, 6.1.0.262, 7.1.0.46
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.0.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy identity-server || rpm -q identity-server || identity-server --version
2. UPGRADE to 6.0.0.261 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade identity-server
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade identity-server
Note
Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison identity-server sudo apt install identity-server=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold identity-server
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list identity-server sudo dnf downgrade identity-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add identity-server
Downgrade risk
Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
After downgrade
Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
