IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0 and 8.5 is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability in the SOAP/JMX connector.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated network access to the SOAP/JMX administrative connector on IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 can bypass authentication, allowing an attacker to read limited information from the server (CWE-306, CVSS 5.3). The flaw is remotely reachable without credentials or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L), but impact is confined to low confidentiality loss - no code execution, configuration change, or denial of service. …
