Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

WSO2 API Manager versions before 2.1.0 are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the gateway component, caused by insufficient validation of XML input in crafted URL paths. An unauthenticated remote attacker can read files from the server's filesystem or cause a denial of service, with the extent of file exposure depending on the JDK version. Upgrade to version 2.1.0 or later.
