The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.0 through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.18, or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.5.4. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in IBM WebSphere Application Server due to an unspecified reason. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via token-based authentication in an admin request over the SOAP connector, to gain privileged access to the system.
