The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.11 or 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.6. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Dojo Toolkits subcomponent due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this using a specially- crafted URL, to execute script in a victimโ€™s web browser.

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