IBM WebSphere MQ 6.x < 6.0.2.9 / 7.x < 7.0.1.1 'userid' and 'password' Information Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 62943

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a service installed that does not encrypt usernames and passwords submitted to web pages.

Description

The IBM WebSphere MQ server installed on the remote Windows host is version 6.x prior to 6.0.2.9 or version 7.x prior to 7.0.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a security weakness where usernames and passwords are sent as cleartext in parameter fields, thus allowing a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the networking traffic.

Solution

Upgrade to WebSphere MQ 6.0.2.9 / 7.0.1.1 or later.
