AI-suggested

European organizations should prioritize the following mitigation steps: 1) Upgrade WSO2 API Manager to a version where this vulnerability is patched or confirmed mitigated by the vendor. If an official patch is unavailable, consider applying vendor-recommended configuration changes to disable or restrict the file:// wrapper usage. 2) Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all URL parameters processed by the API Manager to prevent SSRF payloads. 3) Employ network-level controls such as egress filtering and internal firewall rules to restrict the API Manager's ability to initiate outbound requests to internal resources, limiting the attack surface for SSRF. 4) Conduct internal network segmentation to isolate critical systems and reduce the impact of potential SSRF exploitation. 5) Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual outbound requests originating from the API Manager, which may indicate attempted exploitation. 6) Review and harden file system permissions on the server hosting the API Manager to minimize the risk of sensitive file exposure through enumeration. 7) Educate security teams about SSRF risks and ensure incident response plans include procedures for detecting and responding to such attacks.

Description

An issue was discovered in WSO2 API Manager 2.6.0. It is possible to force the application to perform requests to the internal workstation (SSRF port-scanning), other adjacent workstations (SSRF network scanning), or to enumerate files because of the existence of the file:// wrapper.
