high Nessus Plugin ID 133271

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web application server is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 8.0.0.x <= 8.0.0.15, 8.5.x prior to 8.5.5.14, or 9.0.0.x prior to 9.0.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. Using malformed SAML responses from the SAML identity provider could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information

Solution

Upgrade to IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.14 or 9.0.0.9 or later. Alternatively, upgrade to the minimal fix pack levels required by the interim fix and then apply Interim Fix PI78804.
