The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.0 through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.0 through to 8.5.5.17, or 9.0.0.0 through 9.0.5.4. It is, therefore, affected by an remote code execution vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted sequence of serialized objects from untrusted source.
