XML External Entity Injection via Publisher in WSO2 API Manager Allows Reading Arbitrary Files

Published Apr 16, 2026 · Updated Apr 16, 2026 · Assigned by WSO2

Description

The component accepts XML input through the publisher without disabling external entity resolution. This allows malicious actors to submit a crafted XML payload that exploits the unescaped external entity references.

By leveraging this vulnerability, a malicious actor can read confidential files from the product's file system or access limited HTTP resources reachable via HTTP GET requests to the vulnerable product.
