IBM » Websphere Application Server : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2017

IBM WebSphere Application Server version 9.0.0.4 could provide weaker than expected security after using the PasswordUtil command to enable AES password encryption. IBM X-Force ID: 129579.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using specially-crafted URL to cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning, cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 129578.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 could provide weaker than expected security after using the Admin Console to update the web services security bindings settings. IBM X-Force ID: 129576.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 might create files using the default permissions instead of the customized permissions when custom startup scripts are used. A local attacker could exploit this to gain access to files with an unknown impact. IBM X-Force ID: 127153.

IBM WebSphere Application Server Proxy Server or On-demand-router (ODR) 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0 and could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by stale data being cached and then served. IBM X-Force ID: 127152.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM X-Force ID: 127151.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts. IBM X-Force ID: 123669.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0, 8.5, 8.5.5, and 9.0 using OpenID Connect (OIDC) configured with a Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) could allow a user to gain elevated privileges on the system. IBM Reference #: 1999293.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0 and 8.5.5 could provide weaker than expected security. A remote attacker could exploit this weakness to obtain sensitive information and gain unauthorized access to the admin console. IBM X-Force ID: 121549.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. IBM Reference #: 1997743

An issue was discovered in Pivotal Spring Security before 3.2.10, 4.1.x before 4.1.4, and 4.2.x before 4.2.1. Spring Security does not consider URL path parameters when processing security constraints. By adding a URL path parameter with an encoded "/" to a request, an attacker may be able to bypass a security constraint. The root cause of this issue is a lack of clarity regarding the handling of path parameters in the Servlet Specification. Some Servlet containers include path parameters in the value returned for getPathInfo() and some do not. Spring Security uses the value returned by getPathInfo() as part of the process of mapping requests to security constraints. The unexpected presence of path parameters can cause a constraint to be bypassed. Users of Apache Tomcat (all current versions) are not affected by this vulnerability since Tomcat follows the guidance previously provided by the Servlet Expert group and strips path parameters from the value returned by getContextPath(), getServletPath(), and getPathInfo(). Users of other Servlet containers based on Apache Tomcat may or may not be affected depending on whether or not the handling of path parameters has been modified. Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.x are known to be affected. Users of other containers that implement the Servlet specification may be affected.

IBM WebSphere Application Server using malformed SOAP requests could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.

IBM WebSphere Application Server is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.

IBM WebSphere Application Server may be vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by allowing serialized objects from untrusted sources to run and cause the consumption of resources.

IBM Business Process Manager (aka BPM) 7.5.x, 8.0.x, and 8.5.x and WebSphere Lombardi Edition (aka WLE) 7.2.x allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions on internal service types via vectors involving the executeServiceByName URL.
