| description | The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 9.0.0.x prior to 9.0.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by an XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability due to an incorrectly configured XML parser accepting XML external entities from an untrusted source. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted XML data, to disclose sensitive information. |
