Title: IBM WebSphere Application Server WSPolicy Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

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

WAS is prone to a local information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to properly recognize that the 'com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.token/IDAssertion.isUsed' binding property is set, allowing sensitive information to pass via SOAP messages.

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

This issue affects WAS 7.0.

Affected Products:

  • IBM Websphere Application Server 7.0
