An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-24589 exists.\n\nAffected product: Wso2 Api Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24589/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24589/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-24589","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24589/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-24589","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6c4q-j8wj-wf2x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"API Management Platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit XML External Entity injection in the WSO2 API Manager Management Console to read sensitive files or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"api_manager","vendor":"wso2"},{"product":"api_microgateway","vendor":"wso2"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AC:L/AV:N/A:H/C:H/I:N/PR:N/S:U/UI:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"The Management Console in WSO2 API Manager through 3.1.0 and API Microgateway 2.2.0 allows XML External Entity injection (XXE) attacks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2020/CVE-2020-24589.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WSO2 API Manager \u003c=3.1.0 - Blind XML External Entity Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24589","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wso2:api_manager","products":["wso2:api_manager"],"type":"xxe","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24590"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the","id":"CVE-2020-24588"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-08-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WSO2 Multiple Products Unrestrictive Upload of File","id":"CVE-2022-29464","kev_date_added":"2022-04-25","published":"2022-04-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Incorrect Authorization in Multiple WSO2 Products via Account Recovery SOAP Admin Service Leading to Account Takeover","id":"CVE-2024-6914","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WSO2 API Manager vulnerable to SSRF","id":"CVE-2020-13226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-20"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in Multiple WSO2 Products","id":"CVE-2025-2905","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-05"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42646","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-11"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit XML External Entity injection in the WSO2 API Manager Management Console to read sensitive files or cause denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24589/"}
