IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 is affected by blind server-side request forgery when processing SOAP requests.
AnalysisAI
Blind server-side request forgery (SSRF) in IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 enables authenticated remote attackers to issue arbitrary internal HTTP requests by embedding malicious URLs within crafted SOAP messages processed by the server. Although the response is not directly returned to the attacker ('blind' SSRF), an adversary can exploit timing discrepancies and error differences to map internal network topology, probe cloud instance metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS IMDSv1), or reach services otherwise inaccessible from the public internet. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the attacker hold at least low-privileged authenticated access to the IBM WebSphere Application Server SOAP endpoint (PR:L per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N reflects the authenticated nature of the attack (PR:L), which meaningfully constrains the threat surface to users or service accounts with valid credentials to the SOAP endpoint. … 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 vendor-released patch documented in IBM's security bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286610; this is the primary and recommended remediation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
