in the 7279256 advisory.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server is affected by a cross-site request forgery, caused by improper
validation of user-supplied input to the Administrative Console. By persuading an authenticated,
privileged user to visit a malicious URL during a limited timing window, a remote attacker could send a
specially-crafted request to execute malicious and unauthorized actions. CWE: CWE-352: Cross-Site Request
Forgery (CSRF) (CVE-2026-8408)
