CVE-2025-2905

Due to the improper configuration of XML parser, user-supplied XML is parsed without applying sufficient restrictions, enabling XML External Entity (XXE) resolution in multiple WSO2 Products.

A successful XXE attack could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to:

• Read sensitive files from the server’s filesystem.
• Perform denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, which can render the affected service unavailable.

Weakness

The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
