File disclosure and denial of service via XXE
Published Apr 16, 2026 · Updated Apr 16, 2026
XXE in multiple WSO2 server products allows remote attackers to read local files or access limited HTTP resources through crafted XML. Their XML parsers process user-supplied XML while external entity resolution remains enabled, causing referenced local or HTTP resources to be included. No authentication or user interaction is required; recursive entities or large external resources can also exhaust server resources and interrupt service.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=5.10.0 <5.10.0.300
