Description Preview
MQ Explorer in IBM WebSphere MQ before 8.0.0.3 does not recognize the absence of the compatibility-mode option, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network for a session in which TLS is not used.
Overview
This vulnerability in IBM WebSphere MQ allows attackers to intercept sensitive information by exploiting the lack of recognition of the compatibility-mode option in MQ Explorer. By sniffing the network for sessions where TLS is not used, attackers can obtain confidential data.
Remediation
To remediate this vulnerability, it is recommended to upgrade IBM WebSphere MQ to version 8.0.0.3 or later. This update addresses the issue by fixing the compatibility-mode option recognition in MQ Explorer, preventing attackers from obtaining sensitive information through network sniffing.
