in the 7231514 advisory.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF). This may
allow an authenticated attacker to send unauthorized requests from the system, potentially leading to
network enumeration or facilitating other attacks. (CVE-2025-27907)
