Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in WSO2 API Control Plane, API Manager, Carbon API Management Implementation, Carbon API Manager Rest API Utility, Traffic Manager and Universal Gateway. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown code block of the component Publisher REST APIs. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a isolation vulnerability.

This allows a user in one tenant, possessing sufficient privileges to invoke these APIs, to perform operations that impact other tenants. The vulnerability allows a privileged user to perform publisher operations such as exposing or modifying API Metadata in another tenant environment. This impact is only realized in multi-tenant deployments.
