Product: WSO2 API Control Plane

Description

CVE-2025-13173 is a medium severity vulnerability in WSO2 API Control Plane where tokens associated with user sessions are not revoked upon session termination if token binding validation is enabled and the 'Revoke token upon user logout' option is disabled. This allows session-bound tokens to remain valid after logout, potentially enabling unauthorized access to applications and sensitive data.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability arises in WSO2 API Control Plane when the session-bound token feature is enabled with token binding validation, but the 'Revoke token upon user logout' option is not active. Under these conditions, tokens linked to user sessions are not revoked when the user session ends unless another SSO request occurs. Consequently, an attacker with a valid session-bound token could maintain unauthorized access to resources even after the legitimate user has logged out. The issue affects multiple versions of WSO2 API Control Plane prior to specific patch versions.

Potential Impact

An attacker possessing a valid session-bound token can exploit this vulnerability to maintain unauthorized access to applications and resources after the associated user session has ended. This could lead to exposure of sensitive user data and compromise of application security. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, it is recommended to enable the 'Revoke token upon user logout' option when using token binding validation to ensure tokens are revoked upon session termination.
