Improper Access Control via Gateway API in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows Unauthorized Operations

Published May 11, 2026 · Updated May 11, 2026 · Assigned by WSO2

Description

The software fails to enforce role-based access controls for certain Gateway API invocations. Users with the 'Internal/Everyone' role can invoke these APIs, bypassing intended permission checks. This same vulnerability also affects Internal Service APIs, potentially exposing them in WSO2 APIM 3.x versions.

A malicious actor with a valid user account on a vulnerable deployment can perform sensitive operations against the Gateway REST API regardless of their actual roles or privileges. This could lead to unintended behavior or misuse, particularly in production environments.
