CVE-2024-7096: Privilege Escalation in Multiple WSO2 Products via SOAP Admin Service Due to Business Logic Flaw

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • 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: 0.74% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 54.5% of all records.
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: org.wso2.am:am-parent (Maven) 4.4.0; org.wso2.is:identity-server-parent (Maven) 7.1.0.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.wso2.am:am-parent (Maven) 4.4.0; org.wso2.is:identity-server-parent (Maven) 7.1.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to a business logic flaw in SOAP admin services. A malicious actor can create a new user with elevated permissions only when all of the following conditions are met: * SOAP admin services are accessible to the attacker. * The deployment includes an internally used attribute that is not part of the default WSO2 product configuration. * At least one custom role exists with non-default permissions. * The attacker has knowledge of the custom role and the internal attribute used in the deployment. Exploiting this vulnerability allows malicious actors to assign higher privileges to self-registered users, bypassing intended access control mechanisms.
