Affected Products and Versions

This vulnerability affects IBM Business Process Manager V7.5.x through V8.5.7.0 and WebSphere Lombardi Edition V7.2.0.x.

Remediation/Fixes

The eclipse-based IBM Process Designer tool includes an instance of the IBM SDK Java™ Technology Edition. In order to provide the fix for this development tool, install APAR JR57474 for your version of IBM Business Process Manager or WebSphere Lombardi Edition:

• IBM Business Process Manager Advanced
• IBM Business Process Manager Standard
• IBM Business Process Manager Express
• As WebSphere Lombardi Edition and IBM Business Process Manager V7.5 are out of general support, customers with a support extension contract can contact IBM support to request the fix for download.

If you are on earlier unsupported releases, IBM strongly recommends to upgrade.
