[KEV] Path Traversal in WSO2 Multiple Products (CVE-2022-29464)
Summary
Path traversal in WSO2 Multiple Products (CVE-2022-29464). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Listed in CISA KEV — actively exploited.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Certain WSO2 products allow unrestricted file upload with resultant remote code execution. The attacker must use a /fileupload endpoint with a Content-Disposition directory traversal sequence to reach a directory under the web root, such as a ../../../../repository/deployment/server/webapps directory. This affects WSO2 API Manager 2.2.0 up to 4.0.0, WSO2 Identity Server 5.2.0 up to 5.11.0, WSO2 Identity Server Analytics 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.5.0 and 5.6.0, WSO2 Identity Server as Key Manager 5.3.0 up to 5.11.0, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator 6.2.0 up to 6.6.0, WSO2 Open Banking AM 1.4.0 up to 2.0.0 and WSO2 Open Banking KM 1.4.0, up to 2.0.0.
Auto-generated summary
Assembled by SecPulse from the source data (CVSS, CWE, affected versions) using templates — no AI involved. Check the original description and references below for exact details.
A weakness called CVE-2022-29464 was discovered in WSO2 Multiple Products.
In plain terms, it is a flaw that lets attackers reach files they should not see.
Severity is High. If exploited, attackers can leak data or disrupt key functionality.
Note: CISA has officially listed this as actively exploited in the wild. Treat it with higher urgency than usual.
What you should do: update the affected software to the latest version. If unsure, ask your IT team or search the vendor's site for "WSO2 Multiple Products CVE-2022-29464".
CVE-2022-29464 (WSO2 Multiple Products). Severity: High. Category: CWE-22.
Listed in CISA KEV — actively exploited in the wild. Patch as a top priority.
Response plan:
- Check the vendor advisory for affected versions and the patched release.
- If a vulnerable version is running in production, schedule maintenance (urgency from KEV/CVSS).
- If no patch yet, mitigate via WAF rule, disabling the affected feature, etc.
- Monitor logs / SIEM for known IOC and PoC signatures of this CVE.
PoCs and fix commits: see the 'References' section, MITRE, and NVD.
A weakness (CVE-2022-29464) in WSO2 Multiple Products. In plain words, it is a flaw that lets attackers reach files they should not see.
Target versions of WSO2 Multiple Products (see vendor advisory). If running in production, identify exposure immediately.
Severity: High. If exploited, attackers can leak data or disrupt key functionality. Listed in CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation in the wild).
Update to the patched release as listed in the vendor advisory. (Typical mitigation pattern for CWE-22)
If a patch is not yet available, consider disabling the affected feature, applying WAF rules, blocking via network ACLs, or isolating the vulnerable version.
Check version information, scan dependencies via SBOM, and monitor SIEM for IOC and PoC signatures related to this CVE.
Response actions
Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'multiple-products' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
multiple-productsを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
4Consider incident declaration escalate
Notify SOC / on-callCISA KEV登録済 = 実環境で悪用が観測されている。Step 3 で兆候があればインシデント対応宣言、無くてもパッチ適用までWAF強化を最優先で。
-
7Post-deployment verification verify
Confirm patched version is live in productionパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 3 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
