Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

A low-privileged user can perform sensitive operations on the Gateway REST API, potentially leading to unintended behavior or misuse, especially in production environments. This may compromise system integrity and confidentiality.

Recommendation

Update WSO2 APIM to a version containing the fix. Review and strengthen role-based access control mechanisms for Gateway API and Internal Service APIs.
