Title: IBM WebSphere Application Server Installation Factory Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is an application server used for service-oriented architecture.

The application is prone to a local information-disclosure vulnerability because it logs sensitive information. A local attacker may access sensitive information in the Installation Factory log file 'logs/instconfigifwas6.log' if the application is registered as a Windows service.

Exploiting this issue may allow the attacker to access sensitive information that may aid in further attacks.

This issue affects WAS 6.0.2 installed on Microsoft Windows.

Affected Products:

  • IBM Websphere Application Server 6.0.2
