IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0.x < 9.0.0.9 MITM (CVE-2018-8039)

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 9.0.x prior to 9.0.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by a man-in-the-middle (MITM) vulnerability in the Apache CXF sub-component due to the TLS hostname verification not working correctly with the com.sun.net.ssl interface. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to launch a man-in-the-middle attack.

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