The Administrative Console in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.x before 7.0.0.43, 8.0.x before 8.0.0.13, and 8.5.x before 8.5.5.10 mishandles CSRFtoken cookies, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

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.

The remote host appears to be running IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.10.  Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues :

 - A flaw exists that is triggered as CRLF (Carriage Return and Line Feed) character sequences are not properly sanitized before being included in HTTP responses.  This allows a remote attacker to inject additional headers into responses to conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of specially crafted SIP messages.  This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
 - A flaw exists that is due to the program improperly setting the CSRFtoken cookie.  This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated.  This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing them to bypass security restrictions and disclose sensitive information.
 - A flaw exists that is due to the program setting insecure unspecified flags on CSRF token cookies, which may allow an attacker to have an unspecified impact.  No further details have been provided by the vendor.  Based on past disclosures from IBM, this is likely the 'secure' and/or 'HttpOnly' flag.

The remote host appears to be running IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.41.  Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues :

 - A flaw exists allowing a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to a failure to properly validate output from the OAuth provider before returning it to users.  An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the security context of the hosting website. (CVE-2015-7417)
 - A flaw exists in the FIPS140-2 implementation that is related to an improper TLS configuration.  This may allow an attacker with the ability to intercept network traffic (e.g. MitM, DNS cache poisoning) to disclose transmitted data. (CVE-2016-0306)
 - A flaw exists that is due to the program improperly setting the CSRFtoken cookie.  This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0377)
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated.  This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing them to bypass security restrictions and disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0385)
