This weakness permits unauthorized operations on the affected product.\n\nSuccessful 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.","cvssScore":9.4,"cvssSeverity":"CRITICAL","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","cwes":["CWE-285"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://security.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/security-announcements/security-advisories/2026/WSO2-2025-4733/","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":{"summary":"The System REST APIs lack proper access control, letting low-privilege users perform administrative actions they should not be authorized to execute.","exploitability":"Exploitation is straightforward for authenticated low-privilege users with network access to the affected APIs; no user interaction or special conditions required.","blast_radius":"An attacker could gain unauthorized administrative control over the system, leading to potential data manipulation, service disruption, or further lateral movement within the environment.","remediation":"Apply the vendor patch for version 2.590 or later, as this is the fixed release that corrects the access control flaw in the System REST APIs.","detection":"Monitor for administrative API calls (e.g., POST/PUT to /system/* endpoints) originating from users assigned only non-administrative roles; look for anomalous privilege escalation in audit logs or role-based access control (RBAC) telemetry.","tags":["auth-bypass","privilege-escalation","rest-api","admin-access"],"model":"garnet-coder","analyzedAt":"2026-11-02T09:51:11.071Z"}}
