IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.x < 8.5.5.15 / 9.0.0.x < 9.0.0.10 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CVE-2018-1926)

high Nessus Plugin ID 133274

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 8.5.x prior to 8.5.5.15, or 9.0.0.x prior to 9.0.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. By persuading a user to visit a malicious URL, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform CSRF attack and update available applications.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.15 or 9.0.0.10 or later. Alternatively, upgrade to the minimal fix pack levels required by the interim fix and then apply Interim Fix PH04234.
