IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by sending a specially-crafted HTTP request to an administrative endpoint. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the server to exhaust filesystem space.
AnalysisAI
Filesystem exhaustion denial of service in IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 allows an unauthenticated adjacent-network attacker to crash the server by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to an administrative endpoint that lacks authentication (CWE-306). Repeated triggering fills the host filesystem, disrupting all applications deployed on the instance and preventing logging or recovery operations. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires adjacent network access (CVSS AV:A) - the attacker must be on the same network segment or broadcast domain as the target WebSphere administrative interface, such as a shared management VLAN or internal corporate network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 with vector AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately reflects the primary risk modifier: the adjacent-network attack vector. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | IBM has released a patch for this vulnerability; administrators should consult the IBM support advisory at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286610 for the exact fix version and installation instructions. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
