Synopsis

The web portal software installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a cross-site request forgery vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote Windows host is 8.5.0 CF08 - CF10 prior to 8.5.0.0 CF11. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability due to a failure to require multiple steps, explicit confirmation, or a unique token when performing certain sensitive actions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to perform unauthorized actions.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM WebSphere Portal version 8.5.0 CF11.
