Summary

The Administrative console in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 before 6.1.0.47, 7.0 before 7.0.0.29, 8.0 before 8.0.0.7, and 8.5 before 8.5.5.0 does not properly perform caching, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

    descriptionIBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 47 appears to be running on the remote host. As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A remote attacker can bypass authentication because of improper user validation on Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX platforms that use a LocalOS registry. (CVE-2013-0543, PM75582) - A denial of service can be caused by the way Apache Ant uses bzip2 to compress files. This can be exploited by a local attacker passing specially crafted input. (CVE-2012-2098, PM90088) - A local attacker can cause a denial of service on Windows platforms with a LocalOS registry using WebSphere Identity Manager. (CVE-2013-0541, PM74909) - Remote attackers can traverse directories by deploying a specially crafted application file to overwrite files outside of the application deployment directory. (CVE-2012-3305, PM62467) - The TLS protocol implementation is susceptible to plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets. (CVE-2013-0169, PM85211) - Terminal escape sequences are not properly filtered from logs. Remote attackers could execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence. (CVE-2013-1862, PM87808) - Improper validation of user input allows for cross-site request forgery. By persuading an authenticated user to visit a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2012-4853, CVE-2013-3029, PM62920, PM88746) - Improper validation of user input in the administrative console allows for multiple cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-0458, CVE-2013-0459, CVE-2013-0461, CVE-2013-0542, CVE-2013-0596, CVE-2013-2967, CVE-2013-4005, CVE-2013-4052, PM71139, PM72536, PM71389, PM73445, PM78614, PM81846, PM88208, PM91892) - Improper validation of portlets in the administrative console allows for cross-site request forgery, which could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2013-0460, PM72275) - Remote, authenticated attackers can traverse directories on Linux and UNIX systems running the application. (CVE-2013-0544, PM82468) - A denial of service attack is possible if the optional mod_dav module is being used. (CVE-2013-1896, PM89996) - Sensitive information can be obtained by a local attacker because of incorrect caching by the administrative console. (CVE-2013-2976, PM79992) - An attacker may gain elevated privileges because of improper certificate checks. WS-Security and XML Digital Signatures must be enabled. (CVE-2013-4053, PM90949, PM91521) - Deserialization of a maliciously crafted OpenJPA object can result in an executable file being written to the file system. WebSphere is NOT vulnerable to this issue but the vendor suggests upgrading to be proactive. (CVE-2013-1768, PM86780, PM86786, PM86788, PM86791)
