referenced in the 7175393 advisory.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability
allows a privileged user to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended
functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. (CVE-2024-45087)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
