CVE-2025-2905 (GCVE-0-2025-2905)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-05-05 09:02 – Updated: 2025-10-16 11:39
VLAI?
Summary
Due to the improper configuration of XML parser, user-supplied XML is parsed without applying sufficient restrictions, enabling XML External Entity (XXE) resolution in multiple WSO2 Products.
A successful XXE attack could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to:
* Read sensitive files from the server’s filesystem.
* Perform denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, which can render the affected service unavailable.
Severity ?
9.1 (Critical)
CWE
- CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
