CVE-2025-4760
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
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.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting (XSS) almacenado autenticado existe en múltiples productos WSO2 debido a una validación incorrecta de la entrada proporcionada por el usuario durante la carga de documentos API en el portal Publisher. Un usuario con privilegios de editor puede cargar un documento API manipulado que contiene JavaScript malicioso, el cual luego se renderiza en el navegador cuando es accedido por otros usuarios. Un ataque exitoso podría resultar en la redirección a sitios web maliciosos, modificaciones no autorizadas de la interfaz de usuario o la exfiltración de datos accesibles desde el navegador. Sin embargo, las cookies sensibles relacionadas con la sesión están protegidas por la bandera httpOnly, lo que previene el secuestro de sesión."
