Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2022-29464 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Certain WSO2 products allow unrestricted file upload with resultant remote code execution. The attacker must use a /fileupload endpoint with a Content-Disposition directory traversal sequence to reach a directory under the web root, such as a ../../../../repository/deployment/server/webapps directory. CISA has confirmed active exploitation in the wild. EPSS estimates a 100.00% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
