Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in WSO2 API Manager, Open Banking AM, Traffic Manager, API Control Plane and Siddhi Extension Evaluate Scripts and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the component Event Processor Admin Service. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An authenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to improper input validation in the event processor admin service. A user with administrative access to the SOAP admin services can exploit this flaw by deploying a Siddhi execution plan containing malicious Java code, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the server. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires a valid user account with administrative privileges, limiting the attack surface to authenticated but potentially malicious users.

The advisory is available at security.docs.wso2.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2025-5717 since 06/05/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely.
