CVE-2026-1728
Last modified
CVE-2026-1728 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Tokens issued to a low-privileged user are not sufficiently restricted, allowing them to be used to access product-level Admin REST APIs. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows a low-privileged user to invoke the Admin REST APIs of WSO2 products, potentially leading to full administrative account takeover. This requires the attacker to already possess a low-privileged user account and be able to obtain a valid token for it.. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
