CVE-2025-4760 (GCVE-0-2025-4760)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-09-23 14:55 – Updated: 2025-09-23 19:58

Summary

An authenticated stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to improper validation of user-supplied input during API document upload in the Publisher portal. A user with publisher privileges can upload a crafted API document containing malicious JavaScript, which is later rendered in the browser when accessed by other users. A successful attack could result in redirection to malicious websites, unauthorized UI modifications, or exfiltration of browser-accessible data. However, session-related sensitive cookies are protected by the httpOnly flag, preventing session hijacking.

Severity ?

4.8 (Medium)

GHSA-CMJC-QP7J-XGWR

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-23 15:31 – Updated: 2025-09-27 03:38

Summary

WSO2 carbon-apimgt affected by an authenticated stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability

Details

An authenticated stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in WSO2 API Manager components (carbon-apimgt) due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input during API document upload in the Publisher portal.

A user with publisher privileges can upload a crafted API document whose contents are later rendered in the UI for other users, leading to attacker-controlled script execution. Likely outcomes include redirection to malicious sites, unauthorized UI modifications, or exfiltration of data accessible to the browser; session hijacking is mitigated by the use of HttpOnly session cookies.

To remediate, update to version 9.31.117 or above.

Severity ?

4.8 (Medium)
