The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.0.x prior to 7.0.0.41, 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.13, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.10. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability due to weaker than expected security caused by the improper TLS configuration if FIPS 140-2 is enabled. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to obtain sensitive information by using man in the middle techniques.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.
