CVE-2023-6839Network attack vector

Internal package disclosure via malformed REST errors

Published Dec 15, 2023 · Updated Oct 8, 2024

Information disclosure in WSO2 API Manager allows remote attackers to obtain an internal package name through a malformed REST API request. An invalid token causes affected REST handlers to return an error entity without a JSON content type, allowing the response writer's server-side exception to expose a WSO2 package name. No authentication is required; disclosure is limited to technical details that identify the underlying WSO2 implementation.
