CVE-2025-13394: CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in WSO2 WSO2 Identity Server

0
Medium
Published: 08/06/2026 (08/06/2026, 09:30:31 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: WSO2
Product: WSO2 Identity Server

Description

The Ajax processor within the Carbon console fails to adequately protect state-changing operations from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. Specifically, it utilizes the HTTP GET method for these operations, and while the SameSite=Lax cookie attribute is employed for mitigation, this mechanism is bypassed as it permits cookies to be sent with cross-origin top-level navigation requests, including GET requests. This allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user's browser into unknowingly executing unintended actions. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized state-altering requests on behalf of authenticated users. This could lead to consequences such as data modification, account changes, or other actions that could result in data compromise or loss of user control over their account. However, this attack is only feasible if the Carbon console and related services are exposed to the public internet, which is not recommended according to WSO2's security guidelines.

Technical Analysis

The Ajax processor in the Carbon console of WSO2 Identity Server versions 5.10.0, 5.11.0, 6.0.0, 6.1.0, 7.0.0, 7.1.0, and 7.2.0 fails to adequately protect state-changing operations from CSRF attacks. It uses HTTP GET for these operations and relies on the SameSite=Lax cookie attribute, which allows cookies to be sent with cross-origin top-level navigation GET requests, enabling attackers to bypass this protection. This can lead to unauthorized state changes such as data modification or account changes if the vulnerable service is exposed to the public internet.

Potential Impact

An attacker can perform unauthorized state-altering requests on behalf of authenticated users, potentially leading to data modification, account changes, or loss of user control. However, exploitation is limited to scenarios where the Carbon console and related services are publicly accessible, which is not recommended by the vendor.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation level has been published by WSO2 for this vulnerability. Since the vulnerability requires public exposure of the Carbon console, following WSO2's security guidelines to avoid exposing these services to the public internet is the primary mitigation. Monitor the vendor advisory for any future patches or updates.
