high Nessus Plugin ID 97019

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the IBM DataPower Gateway running on the remote host is prior to 7.5.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by a security bypass vulnerability due to the default password still being accepted as valid if the administrator logs in before the startup configuration is completed.

Upgrade to IBM DataPower Gateway version 7.5.2.2 or later.
