Summary
Several WSO2 products, including WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 Traffic Manager, WSO2 Identity Server and other products, log irrelevant properties when an Event Publisher output adapter is configured with them. The logged properties can include sensitive user credentials or other confidential information. A local attacker with high privileges who can read the wso2carbon log files can retrieve that data, a flaw classified as CWE-532.

Description from the CNA
When an Event Publisher output adapter is configured with properties that are irrelevant to its function, the affected products log these irrelevant properties. This can inadvertently include sensitive user credentials or other confidential information depending on the nature of the misconfigured property. A malicious actor with access to the 'wso2carbon' log files could retrieve sensitive information logged by the system. This may potentially lead to unauthorized access if the logged data contains credentials or other critical secrets.
