CVE-2024-4457 - Vulnerability Details

- Remote Code Execution via JDBC User Store Configuration in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows Arbitrary Code Execution

Description

The Management Console fails to properly validate input related to the configuration of JDBC user stores. This weakness allows an attacker to supply specially crafted input that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the affected server.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server with the privileges of the WSO2 product. This could lead to a full compromise of the system.

Analysis

Impact

The vulnerable Management Console does not properly sanitize input for JDBC user store configuration, allowing an attacker to supply specially crafted values that result in operating‑system command execution. This flaw can be used to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the WSO2 application, potentially giving the attacker full control of the underlying system. The weakness is identified as CWE-78, indicating an OS command injection vulnerability.

Affected Systems

Affected products include WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 Carbon User Manager Kernel, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, WSO2 Identity Server, WSO2 Identity Server as Key Manager, WSO2 Open Banking AM, and WSO2 Open Banking IAM. Specific version information is not disclosed, so all deployed instances are potentially vulnerable until patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.1 indicates a high severity impact. The EPSS score of <1% shows a very low but nonzero exploitation probability, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is an authenticated or privileged user who can modify the JDBC user store settings via the management console, whether directly or through a compromised interface. Once the configuration is altered with malicious input, the server will execute injected commands, leading to a full compromise.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
