What it is

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.

Is CVE-2022-29464 being exploited in the wild?

Yes. The huntback decoy network captured 11 exploitation attempts from 2 distinct source IPs; the most recent was on 2026-11-10. It is also in the CISA KEV catalogue.

Can CVE-2022-29464 be detected on the network?

Yes. huntback carries a network signature for CVE-2022-29464, so attempts against a decoy are tagged in real time.

How huntback helps

Deploy a decoy that emulates API Manager and you will see every attempt at this CVE the moment it lands, with the full payload, the attacker's infrastructure, and any stage-2 loader. Then huntback can scan the attacker back.
