| Detailed Description |
A version of IBM WebSphere Application Server which is older than 6.1.0.23 is running on the host.
IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 23 appears to
be running on the remote host. Such versions are reportedly affected
by multiple vulnerabilities :
- Provided an attacker has valid credentials, it may be possible to hijack an authenticated session.
- It may be possible for a remote attacker to redirect users to arbitrary sites using ibm_security_logout servlet.
- Under certain conditions it may be possible to access administrative console user sessions.
- If APAR PK41002 has been applied, then an unspecified vulnerability in JAX-RPC WS-Security component could incorrectly validate 'UsernameToken'.
- Sample applications shipped with IBM WebSphere Application Server are affected by cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
- The adminitrative console is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
- It may be possible for an attacker to read arbitrary application-specific war files.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
1) An unspecified error exists in wsadmin within the Administrative Scripting Tools component. No further information is currently available.
2) An unspecified error exists within the PropFilePasswordEncoder utility. No further information is currently available.
3) The problem is that certain sensitive information are stored in clear text within the http_plugin.log file (Plug-in component) and startserver.log (System Management/Repository component).
