Security Advisory WSO2-2016-0140

Published: 30th September 2016

AFFECTED PRODUCTS

WSO2 API Manager 2.0.0

WSO2 Message Broker 3.1.0

OVERVIEW

Carbon Metrics UI of above WSO2 products is vulnerable to reflected XSS attacks.

DESCRIPTION

Several XSS vulnerabilities were discovered in the Carbon Metrics component of WSO2 products. 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 Carbon Metrics UI pages, and trick a user to click the malicious content via email or a neutral web site. 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

Apply the following patch based on your product versions by following the instructions in the README file. Patches can also be downloaded from http://wso2.com/security-patch-releases/.

If you have any questions, please post them to security@wso2.com.
