CVE-2024-8008

Browser script execution via unencoded validation errors

Published Jun 2, 2025 · Updated Oct 21, 2025

Reflected XSS in multiple WSO2 products allows attackers to execute JavaScript through JDBC user-store validation errors. The validateconnection-ajaxprocessor.jsp handler writes an exception message directly into its AJAX response without HTML encoding. A victim must interact with a crafted validation request; attackers can alter the UI, redirect browsing, or read browser-accessible data, but cannot hijack protected session cookies.
