Description

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

(CVE-2014-0114)

- An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability exists which allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3083)

- An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user input. This can be exploited by a remote, authenticated attacker to execute code in the security context of a user's browser.
(CVE-2014-4762)

- An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists which allows a remote, authenticated attacker to upload large files, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-4792)

- An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists that allows remote, authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted URL.
