description

WSO2 API Manager deployments using WSO2 Identity Server as a Resident Key Manager with a shared database are affected. A self-registered user may obtain a token from Identity Server and use it to access API Manager System REST APIs; this requires the Resident Key Manager and database-sharing configuration.

mitigation

Upgrade org.wso2.km.ext.wso2is:wso2is.key.manager.core to version 1.8.8 or later. Until upgraded, avoid using WSO2 Identity Server as a Resident Key Manager with database sharing, or restrict exposure to the affected System REST APIs.

fixed in 1.8.8
