The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.x, 8.0.0.x, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.17, or 9.0.0.x prior to 9.0.5.2.
It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this by leveraging improper handling of command line options in order to obtain sensitive information.
