CVE-2025-14260: WSO2 product improper access control in resource location handling

CVE-2025-14260 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.3 · Published 2026-10-28

A WSO2 product fails to properly validate user-supplied requests for resource locations, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to direct the server to access arbitrary internal and external network resources and files. An attacker can exploit this to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, internal systems, and services that the WSO2 server can reach, potentially leading to data theft or lateral movement.

Vendors: Wso2.

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper implementation of access control rules that fail to validate user input related to resource locations. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to perform server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks, directing the server to make requests to arbitrary network locations and access internal or external resources. The server's network and filesystem access privileges are exposed to the attacker.
