Proper authentication is\r\nnot required to exploit this vulnerability.\r\n\r\nThe specific flaw exists due to a hidden manager-level account with a\r\ndefault password defined in the user configuration of the bundled Tomcat\r\nserver. This server can be reached via HTTP on TCP port 19300. A\r\nmalicious attacker can use this account to manage or deploy a servlet\r\nonto the server. By abusing this ability a remote attacker can execute\r\narbitrary code under the context of the user running the Tomcat server.\r\n\r\n-- Vendor Response:\r\nIBM has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
