IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0.0.4 Weak Encryption (CVE-2017-1504)

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 9.0.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by a weakness in a new feature using the PasswordUtil command to enable AES password encryption. If this feature was used, passwords were not encrypted as expected, resulting in weaker than expected security.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
