CVE-2025-8325
6.3 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2025-8325 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting wso2 api_control_plane. It was published on May 11, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
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. This could lead to unintended behavior or misuse, particularly in production environments.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from wso2. Update api_control_plane to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
