CVE-2025-11969Broken Access Control via System REST APIs in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows Unauthorized Administrative Actions
Critical 9.4
In plain English
A critical-severity security flaw in WSO2 API Control Plane from WSO2. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 26% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The System REST APIs do not correctly enforce access control mechanisms, allowing users with lower privilege roles to execute administrative actions that should be restricted. This weakness permits unauthorized operations on the affected product. Successful exploitation could enable a malicious actor to perform unauthorized administrative operations, including executing administrative functions. APIs exposed through the WSO2 API Manager's API Gateway are not affected by this vulnerability.
