CVE-2025-9152Network attack vector

Administrative token generation via unsecured DCR methods

Published Oct 16, 2025 · Updated Oct 17, 2025

Missing access control in WSO2 API Manager and API Control Plane affected releases allows remote attackers to obtain elevated tokens. The default method-context configuration omits secure GET, PUT, and DELETE rules for the keymanager-operations DCR registration route, so untrusted requests reach privileged client-management operations. No authentication or user interaction is required; a generated token grants administrative access and enables unauthorized operations.
