IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.x <= 7.0.0.45 / 8.0.0.x <= 8.0.0.15 / 8.5.x < 8.5.5.17 / 9.0.x < 9.0.5.1 XSS (CVE-2019-4270)

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.0.x prior to 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.17 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.5.1. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WebSphere Application Server Admin Console due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user’s browser session.

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