    Action Type Old Value New Value
    Added Description A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in multiple [Vendor Name] products due to a business logic flaw in SOAP admin services. A malicious actor can create a new user with elevated permissions only when all of the following conditions are met:
    * SOAP admin services are accessible to the attacker.
    * The deployment includes an internally used attribute that is not part of the default WSO2 product configuration.
    * At least one custom role exists with non-default permissions.
    * The attacker has knowledge of the custom role and the internal attribute used in the deployment.

    Exploiting this vulnerability allows malicious actors to assign higher privileges to self-registered users, bypassing intended access control mechanisms.

    Added CVSS V3.1 AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
