IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 could allow an authenticated user with a low-privilege administrative role to modify security configuration. This could result in information disclosure or denial of service.
AnalysisAI
Improper privilege management in IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 lets an authenticated user who holds a low-privilege administrative role modify security configuration, resulting in information disclosure or denial of service. The flaw is remotely reachable with low complexity (CVSS 3.1 base 8.1, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) but requires valid administrative credentials, so it is an insider/privileged-abuse issue rather than an unauthenticated attack path. …
