WSO2 API Manager: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVE-2025-10907 is a high-severity unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability in WSO2 API Manager from WSO2, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with administrator privileges, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 3.1.0.345, 3.2.0.448, 3.2.1.66 as the first without the flaw, so updating WSO2 API Manager to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.6% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update WSO2 API Manager to 3.1.0.345 or 3.2.0.448 or 3.2.1.66 or 4.0.0.367, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Update WSO2 Open Banking IAM to 2.0.0.414 or a later version.
- Update WSO2 Open Banking AM to 2.0.0.394 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on security.docs.wso2.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.

Official description
An arbitrary file upload vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to insufficient validation of uploaded content and destination in SOAP admin services. A malicious actor with administrative privileges can upload a specially crafted file to a user-controlled location within the deployment. Successful exploitation may lead to remote code execution (RCE) on the server, depending on how the uploaded file is processed. By default, this vulnerability is only exploitable by users with administrative access to the affected SOAP services.

The underlying weakness: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Generate a new, unique filename for an uploaded file instead of using the user-supplied filename, so that no external input is used at all.
- When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
- Consider storing the uploaded files outside of the web document root entirely. Then, use other mechanisms to deliver the files dynamically.
