The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is affected by a improper encoding flaw.
IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 traditional could provide weaker than expected security, caused by the improper encoding in a local configuration file.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
