What is CVE-2020-17454?

WSO2 API Manager versions 3.1.0 and earlier are susceptible to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities within the admin interface's publisher component. Attackers can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious scripts into the owner POST parameter, as user input is not adequately filtered. This results in an error modal displaying the injected payload, potentially leading to unauthorized script execution. Furthermore, the vulnerability can be additionally exploited through cross-site request forgery (CSRF), amplifying the risk of this security issue.
