Unauthorized administrative operations via missing permission checks
Published Oct 16, 2025 · Updated Oct 17, 2025
Improper access control in WSO2 server products allows attackers to perform unauthorized operations through internal administrative APIs. Affected SOAP Admin Services and System REST API paths omit required permission enforcement, allowing requests to reach protected or administrative operations. Access is limited to internal interfaces; exposed API Manager gateway APIs are unaffected, while successful access can disclose server-level information or perform other unauthorized operations.

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=3.1.0 <3.1.0.20
- Affected versionversion=3.2.0 <3.2.0.33
