CVE-2025-12737
Arbitrary Code Execution via Administrative Operations in Multiple WSO2 Products Allows Remote Code Execution
Overview
Description

The administrative operations within the Carbon Console do not adequately validate specific user-supplied input. This oversight allows a malicious actor with administrative privileges to inject and execute arbitrary code remotely. Successful exploitation enables a threat actor with administrative privileges and Carbon Console access to execute remote arbitrary code through specific administrative operations, leading to a complete compromise of the affected system.
