Content Spoofing in Multiple WSO2 Products via Error Message Injection
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.21% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: org.wso2.identity.apps:authentication-portal (Maven) 2.4.4.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.wso2.identity.apps:authentication-portal (Maven) 2.4.4 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A content spoofing vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to improper error message handling. Under certain conditions, error messages are passed through URL parameters without validation, allowing malicious actors to inject arbitrary content into the UI. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can manipulate browser-displayed error messages, enabling social engineering attacks through deceptive or misleading content.
