Overview

CVE-2024-7096 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 30, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.2 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.2, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in multiple WSO2 products due to a business logic flaw in SOAP admin services. A malicious actor can create a new user with elevated permissions only when all of the following conditions are met:

* SOAP admin services are accessible to the attacker.

* The deployment includes an internally used attribute that is not part of the default WSO2 product configuration.

* At least one custom role exists with non-default permissions.

* The attacker has knowledge of the custom role and the internal attribute used in the deployment.

Exploiting this vulnerability allows malicious actors to assign higher privileges to self-registered users, bypassing intended access control mechanisms.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
