Wso2 Carbon Api Manager Rest Api Utility
Monthly
Authentication bypass in WSO2 API Manager and related components (Universal Gateway, Traffic Manager, API Control Plane, and the Carbon API Manager REST API Utility) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to forge JWT tokens because the authentication layer accepts tokens signed with algorithms outside the explicitly configured/supported set. By crafting a JWT with an unsupported or attacker-chosen algorithm that is then incorrectly validated, an attacker can gain unauthorized access up to full administrative account takeover. Rated CVSS 10.0 (scope-changed) by WSO2, with the description noting a contained 9.8 score for single-tenant deployments; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in WSO2 API Manager and related Carbon-based products allows a low-privileged user, using a validly issued token, to invoke product-level Admin REST APIs that should be restricted, potentially resulting in full administrative account takeover. The flaw stems from insufficient scope/privilege restriction on issued tokens (CWE-269) and affects API Manager, API Control Plane, Universal Gateway, Traffic Manager, and the Carbon REST API common/utility components. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a low-privileged account and obtain a token for it.
Role-based access control bypass in WSO2 API Manager 3.x allows authenticated users with the 'Internal/Everyone' role to invoke Gateway and Internal Service APIs without proper permission enforcement, enabling unauthorized operations on sensitive REST API endpoints. The vulnerability affects multiple WSO2 products including API Control Plane, Universal Gateway, and Traffic Manager. CVSS 6.3 (network-accessible, low complexity, requires valid user credentials) indicates moderate severity with clear lateral privilege escalation potential in multi-tenant environments.
