CVE-2025-12737: Arbitrary Code Execution via Administrative Operations in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows Remote Code Execution

Published Sep 3, 2026
·
Updated

The administrative operations within the Carbon Console do not adequately validate specific user-supplied input. This oversight allows a malicious actor with administrative privileges to inject and execute arbitrary code remotely.

Successful exploitation enables a threat actor with administrative privileges and Carbon Console access to execute remote arbitrary code through specific administrative operations, leading to a complete compromise of the affected system.
