Description

When a proxy server is configured with `customUrl.enabled`, the component accepts user-supplied input within forwarded HTTP headers without enforcing expected validation constraints. A malicious actor can manipulate these headers to influence the URL construction process, leading to an open redirect vulnerability. Additionally, unsanitized header values are written to application logs. An attacker can exploit this to force redirection to arbitrary malicious domains, potentially enabling phishing attacks. Furthermore, they can inject forged entries into application logs, impacting the reliability of security logs and potentially hindering incident investigation.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs when an Event Publisher output adapter is misconfigured with irrelevant properties. The system logs these properties without proper validation or sanitization, potentially exposing sensitive data like user credentials in the 'wso2carbon' log files.

Detection Guidance

Check WSO2 log files, specifically the wso2carbon logs, for entries containing sensitive information like credentials or confidential data. Look for warn logs from Event Publisher output adapters with irrelevant properties.

Impact Analysis

A malicious actor with access to the log files could retrieve sensitive information such as credentials or confidential data, leading to unauthorized access or further exploitation of the system.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating compliance requirements for data protection standards like GDPR and HIPAA, which mandate strict controls over personal and health information.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply public fixes or update to the latest unaffected versions of affected WSO2 products. For community users, apply the fix from the GitHub pull request. Support subscribers should update to specified versions as per the advisory.
