CVE-2025-14561 (GCVE-0-2025-14561)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-06 17:32 – Updated: 2026-08-07 17:48

Title

Access Control Bypass via Publisher REST APIs in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows Cross-Tenant Operations

Summary

In multi-tenant deployments, the Publisher REST APIs fail to enforce tenant isolation correctly. This allows a user in one tenant, possessing sufficient privileges to invoke these APIs, to perform operations that impact other tenants. The vulnerability allows a privileged user to perform publisher operations such as exposing or modifying API Metadata in another tenant environment. This impact is only realized in multi-tenant deployments.

Severity
