Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before 6.1.0.45, 7.0 before 7.0.0.25, 8.0 before 8.0.0.5, and 8.5 before 8.5.0.1 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that trigger information disclosure.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 47 appears to be running on the remote host.  As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote attacker can bypass authentication because of     improper user validation on Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX     platforms that use a LocalOS registry.
    (CVE-2013-0543, PM75582)

  - A denial of service can be caused by the way Apache     Ant uses bzip2 to compress files. This can be exploited     by a local attacker passing specially crafted input.
    (CVE-2012-2098, PM90088)

  - A local attacker can cause a denial of service on     Windows platforms with a LocalOS registry using     WebSphere Identity Manager. (CVE-2013-0541, PM74909)

  - Remote attackers can traverse directories by deploying     a specially crafted application file to overwrite files     outside of the application deployment directory.
    (CVE-2012-3305, PM62467)

  - The TLS protocol implementation is susceptible to     plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of     timing data for crafted packets. (CVE-2013-0169,     PM85211)

  - Terminal escape sequences are not properly filtered from     logs. Remote attackers could execute arbitrary commands     via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence.
    (CVE-2013-1862, PM87808)

  - Improper validation of user input allows for cross-site     request forgery. By persuading an authenticated user     to visit a malicious website, a remote attacker could     exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive     information. (CVE-2012-4853, CVE-2013-3029, PM62920,     PM88746)

  - Improper validation of user input in the administrative     console allows for multiple cross-site scripting     attacks. (CVE-2013-0458, CVE-2013-0459, CVE-2013-0461,     CVE-2013-0542, CVE-2013-0596, CVE-2013-2967,     CVE-2013-4005, CVE-2013-4052, PM71139, PM72536, PM71389,     PM73445, PM78614, PM81846, PM88208, PM91892)

  - Improper validation of portlets in the administrative     console allows for cross-site request forgery, which     could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2013-0460, PM72275)

  - Remote, authenticated attackers can traverse directories     on Linux and UNIX systems running the application.
    (CVE-2013-0544, PM82468)

  - A denial of service attack is possible if the optional     mod_dav module is being used. (CVE-2013-1896, PM89996)

  - Sensitive information can be obtained by a local     attacker because of incorrect caching by the     administrative console. (CVE-2013-2976, PM79992)

  - An attacker may gain elevated privileges because of     improper certificate checks. WS-Security and XML Digital     Signatures must be enabled. (CVE-2013-4053, PM90949,     PM91521)

  - Deserialization of a maliciously crafted OpenJPA object     can result in an executable file being written to the     file system. WebSphere is NOT vulnerable to this issue     but the vendor suggests upgrading to be proactive.
    (CVE-2013-1768, PM86780, PM86786, PM86788, PM86791)

IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0 before Fix Pack 6 appears to be running on the remote host.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An error exists related to 'Federated Repositories',     'IIOP' connections, 'CBIND' checking and 'Optimized     Local Adapters' that can allow a remote attacker to     bypass security restrictions. Note that this issue     affects the application when running on z/OS.
    (CVE-2012-3311, PM61388)

  - The fix contained in PM44303 contains an error that     can allow an authenticated attacker to bypass security     restrictions and gain administrative access to the     application. (CVE-2012-3325, PM71296)
