Security Advisory WSO2-2016-0138

Published: September 30, 2016


AFFECTED PRODUCTS

  • WSO2 API Manager 2.0.0

  • WSO2 Data Services Server 3.5.0
  • WSO2 Message Broker 3.1.0

OVERVIEW

Message Flows UI of the above WSO2 products is vulnerable to reflected XSS attacks.

DESCRIPTION

Two XSS vulnerabilities were discovered in the Message Flows component. An attacker can possibly attack the management console, via that component, using reflected XSS. He can inject malicious scripts as a part of the URL which will be reflected in that component’s pages.

IMPACT

An attacker aware of the management console origin can include malicious content in a request to Message Flows page and trick a user to click the malicious content via email or a neutral website. This reflects the attack back to the user’s browser and will execute the injected code, which may generate malicious page results that will mislead the victim or harm otherwise.

SOLUTION
