Descriptions

WSO2 API Manager 3.1.0 and earlier has reflected XSS on the "publisher" component's admin interface. More precisely, it is possible to inject an XSS payload into the owner POST parameter, which does not filter user inputs. By putting an XSS payload in place of a valid Owner Name, a modal box appears that writes an error message concatenated to the injected payload (without any form of data encoding). This can also be exploited via CSRF.

WSO2 API Manager versiones 3.1.0 y anteriores, presenta una vulnerabilidad de tipo XSS reflejado en la interfaz de administración del componente "publisher". Más precisamente, es posible inyectar una carga útil XSS en el parámetro POST del propietario, que no filtra las entradas del usuario. Al colocar una carga útil XSS en lugar de un Nombre de Propietario válido, aparece un cuadro modal que escribe un mensaje de error concatenado con la carga útil inyectada (sin ningún tipo de codificación de datos). Esto también puede ser explotado por medio de un ataque de tipo CSRF
