Synopsis

The remote web application server is affected by a cross-site request forgery vulnerability

Description

The version of IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.45, 8.0 prior to 8.0.0.14, 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.12, 9.0 prior to 9.0.0.4, or Liberty 17.0 prior to 17.0.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability in the OAuth service provider due to a failure to require multiple steps, explicit confirmation, or a unique token when performing certain sensitive actions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to perform unintended actions.

Solution

Apply IBM WebSphere Application Server version 7.0 Fix Pack 45 (7.0.0.45) / 8.0 Fix Pack 14 (8.0.0.14) / 8.5 Fix Pack 12 (8.5.5.12) / 9.0 Fix Pack 4 (9.0.0.4) / Liberty 17.0 Fix Pack 2 (Liberty 17.0.0.2) or later. Alternatively, apply the appropriate Interim Fixes as recommended in the vendor advisory.
