Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
When an Event Publisher output adapter is configured with irrelevant properties, the affected products log these properties. This logging occurs without sufficient validation or sanitization of the property values.
A malicious actor with access to the 'wso2carbon' log files could retrieve sensitive information, such as user credentials or other confidential data, that was inadvertently logged due to misconfiguration, potentially leading to unauthorized access.
AnalysisAI
Sensitive information disclosure in WSO2's Carbon Event Publisher Core affects nine WSO2 platform products, including API Manager, Identity Server, and Open Banking components. When an Event Publisher output adapter is misconfigured with extraneous or irrelevant properties, those property values - which may include user credentials or confidential data - are written to the wso2carbon log files without sanitization or masking (CWE-532). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Two conditions must simultaneously hold for exploitation to be possible: first, at least one Event Publisher output adapter must be configured with properties that are extraneous to the adapter's schema - this is a misconfiguration condition, not a default state; second, the attacker must have local, high-privileged read access to the wso2carbon log files on the host running the affected WSO2 product. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4 Medium is calibrated by a local attack vector (AV:L) requiring high privileges (PR:H) - the attacker must already have OS-level or administrative read access to the wso2carbon log path. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released patch per WSO2 Security Advisory WSO2-2025-4897, available at https://security.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/security-announcements/security-advisories/2026/WSO2-2025-4897/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
