The version of IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability as referenced in the 7165511 advisory.

  • IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 could allow an attacker with access to the network to conduct spoofing attacks. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a certificate issued by a trusted authority to obtain sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 274714. (CVE-2023-50315)

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