Description Preview

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the Integrated Solutions Console (administrative console) in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0.0.13 and earlier versions allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that disable certain security options. This can be achieved via an Edit action to console/adminSecurityDetail.do followed by a save action to console/syncworkspace.do.

Overview

This CVE describes multiple CSRF vulnerabilities in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) versions 7.0.0.13 and earlier, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise the authentication of administrators. By manipulating certain actions in the Integrated Solutions Console, attackers can disable critical security options, potentially leading to unauthorized access and other security risks.

Remediation

To remediate these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to upgrade to a patched version of IBM WebSphere Application Server that addresses the CSRF issues. Additionally, administrators should ensure that proper security configurations are in place to mitigate the risk of CSRF attacks. Regular security assessments and monitoring can also help in detecting and preventing such vulnerabilities.
