The XML parser in IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0.x before 8.0.0.1 CF20 and 8.5.x before 8.5.0.0 CF10 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service via an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.1 CF20. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An open redirect vulnerability exists due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted link, to redirect a user from the intended     legitimate web site to an arbitrary web site of the     attacker's choosing. (CVE-2015-7428)  
  - An XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability     exists due to an incorrectly configured XML parser     accepting XML external entities from an untrusted     source. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via specially crafted XML data, to cause a denial     of service or disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2016-0245)

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote Windows host is 8.5.0.0 prior to 8.5.0.0 CF10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when     handling a specially crafted request. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     inject arbitrary LDAP content and view, add, modify or     delete information in the user repository.
    (CVE-2015-7472)

  - An XXE (XML external entity) injection vulnerability     exists due to an incorrectly configured XML parser     accepting XML external entities from an untrusted     source. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via specially crafted XML data, to cause a denial     of service condition or disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2016-0245)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script     code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-2925)

The IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is version 6.1.0.x prior to 6.1.0.6 CF27 with patches, 6.1.5.x prior to 6.1.5.3 CF27 with patches, 7.0.0.x prior to 7.0.0.2 CF29 with patches, 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.1 CF20, or 8.5.0.0 prior to 8.5.0.0 CF09 with patches.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An open redirect vulnerability exists due to improper     validation of input before returning it to the user. An     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link,     to redirect a victim to an arbitrary website.
    (CVE-2015-7428)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to insecure     permissions. A remote attacker can exploit this to make     changes to content items. (CVE-2015-7455)

  - Multiple unspecified cross-site scripting     vulnerabilities exist due to improper validation of     user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary     script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2015-7457,     CVE-2015-7491, CVE-2016-0243, CVE-2016-0244)

  - An XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability     exists due to an incorrectly configured XML parser     accepting XML external entities from an untrusted     source. A remote attacker can exploit this, via     specially crafted XML data, to cause a denial of service     condition or to disclose sensitive information.
