CVE-2025-9955 is a medium-severity Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Wso2 Enterprise Integrator. Its CVSS base score is 5.7 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Log Enumeration (T1654); ranked at the 9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
An improper access control vulnerability exists in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator product due to insufficient permission restrictions on internal SOAP admin services related to system logs and user-store configuration. A low-privileged user can access log data and user-store configuration details that…

are not intended to be exposed at that privilege level. While no credentials or sensitive user information are exposed, this vulnerability may allow unauthorized visibility into internal operational details, which could aid in further exploitation or reconnaissance.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Direct unauthorized access to system logs by low-privileged user via exposed SOAP services enables log enumeration (T1654); user-store config access aids reconnaissance but lacks sensitive data exposure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces authorization checks on the internal SOAP admin services so that low-privileged users cannot retrieve log data or user-store configuration.
Requires that only the minimum privileges needed for a user's role are granted, eliminating the excessive permissions that allow access to admin-only log and configuration services.
Enforces information-flow policies that can block unauthorized disclosure of sensitive operational data (logs, user-store config) from the admin services to lower-privileged callers.

Defining, enforcing, and reviewing access authorizations and least privilege directly prevents incorrect authorization checks.

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.
Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.
By tying access rights to identity, device, location and classification, the control reduces the likelihood that an authorization decision will be based on an incorrect or bypassed policy.
