Browser script execution via unencoded authentication input
Published Apr 16, 2026 · Updated Apr 16, 2026
Reflected XSS in affected WSO2 API Manager and Identity Server releases allows remote attackers to run script in a user's browser. The authentication endpoint renders user-supplied input without output encoding, turning a crafted request value into executable browser content. A victim must open the crafted request; script can redirect the browser, alter the page, or read browser-accessible data, but HttpOnly session cookies prevent session hijacking.

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 <5.10.0.360
- Affected versionversion=5.11.0 <5.11.0.405
