CVE-2025-5350: 
WSO2 API Manager vulnerability analysis and mitigation

SSRF and Reflected XSS Vulnerabilities exist in multiple WSO2 products within the deprecated Try-It feature, which was accessible only to administrative users. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on October 24, 2025, and is tracked as CVE-2025-5350 (NVD).

The vulnerability stems from the Try-It feature accepting user-supplied URLs without proper validation, leading to server-side request forgery (SSRF). Additionally, the retrieved content was directly reflected in the HTTP response, enabling reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) in the admin user's browser context. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L (NVD).

By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could force the server to fetch malicious content and reflect it into the admin's browser, leading to arbitrary JavaScript execution for UI manipulation or data exfiltration. While session cookies are protected with the HttpOnly flag, the XSS still poses a significant security risk. The SSRF component can be used by a privileged user to query internal services, potentially aiding in internal network enumeration if the target endpoints are reachable from the affected product (NVD).
