"The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is
8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.1 CF15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in 'Apache Commons HttpClient' that allows
    a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof SSL servers via a
    certificate with a subject that specifies a common name
    in a field that is not the CN field. (CVE-2012-6153)

  - A flaw exists in 'Apache HttpComponents' that allows a
    man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof SSL servers via a
    certificate with a subject that specifies a common name
    in a field that is not the CN field. (CVE-2014-3577)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an
    authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
    system. (CVE-2014-4808)

  - A flaw exists due to improper recursion detection during
    entity expansion. A remote attacker, via a specially
    crafted XML document, can cause the system to crash,
    resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4814)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that
    allows a remote attacker to identify whether or not a
    file exists based on the web server error codes.
    (CVE-2014-4821)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the
    'Preview' plugin in CKEditor, which allows a remote
    attacker to inject arbitrary data via unspecified
    vectors. (CVE-2014-5191)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists that allows
    an attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a
    specially crafted URL. (CVE-2014-6171)

  - A flaw exists when the Managed Pages setting is enabled
    that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to write to
    pages via an XML injection attack. (CVE-2014-6193)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the Blog
    Portlet, which allows an attacker to inject arbitrary
    data via a specially crafted URL. (CVE-2014-8902)");
