DescriptionCVE.org

IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 could allow a remote attacker to inject forged log entries into the server's administrative log.

AnalysisAI

IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0 and 8.5 fail to neutralize CRLF and other control characters coming from remote input before writing them into the server's administrative log, letting an unauthenticated network attacker insert forged log entries (CWE-117, improper output neutralization for logs). The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 reflects low integrity impact only - confidentiality and availability are unaffected and no code execution is possible - but falsified administrative logs can mask real activity and mislead incident responders. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires input controlled by the attacker to be written, without CR/LF neutralization, into the WebSphere Application Server administrative log - concretely, a reachable request path (HTTP request line, header, or parameter) whose value is echoed into the admin/SystemOut log, and a downstream log parser or human operator that treats line breaks as record boundaries. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals here are consistent but bounded: CVSS 3.1 gives 5.3 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, meaning the exploit is remotely reachable, requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no special conditions beyond the input path reaching the admin log; scope is unchanged and only integrity is rated Low (C:N/I:L/A:N). … 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 Apply the fix referenced by IBM at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286610 - patch availability is confirmed by the vendor, but the exact fix-pack version is not stated in the available data, so verify the specific WebSphere 9.0 or 8.5 fix pack on that page before closing the finding. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
