"The version of IBM InfoSphere Information Server installed on the remote host is 11.7.x prior or equal to 11.7.1.4. It
is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

  - IBM InfoSphere Information Server is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which could allow an attacker
  to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.
  (CVE-2023-38268)

  - IBM InfoSphere Information Server could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to improper 
  input validation. (CVE-2023-40699)

  - IBM InfoSphere Information Server is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed 
  arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to 
  credentials disclosure within a trusted session. (CVE-2023-50303)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
