Synopsis

The remote web application server is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of the IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.43, 8.0 prior to 8.0.0.13, or 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.10. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the Administrative Console due to improperly setting the CSRFtoken cookie. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information.

Solution

Apply IBM WebSphere Application Server version 7.0 Fix Pack 43 (7.0.0.43) / 8.0 Fix Pack 13 (8.0.0.13) / 8.5 Fix Pack 10 (8.5.5.10) or later. Alternatively, apply the appropriate Interim Fixes as recommended in the vendor advisory.
