AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

Vulnerability

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Administrative Console of IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS). The flaw is present in WAS versions 6.1 before 6.1.0.35 and 7.0 before 7.0.0.13. The vulnerability is triggered via unspecified vectors, meaning the exact input or parameter that leads to the injection is not publicly detailed. The Administrative Console is a web-based interface used for server management, and the vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the console's response.

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely without requiring authentication, as the Administrative Console is typically accessible over the network. The attacker sends a crafted request containing malicious script or HTML to the console. The console then reflects or stores the injected content, which is executed in the context of the victim's browser when the victim accesses the affected console page. No special privileges or user interaction beyond visiting the console are needed.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary web script or HTML in the victim's browser within the security context of the Administrative Console. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, redirection to malicious sites, or theft of sensitive information such as administrative credentials. The impact is limited to the browser session of the victim, but given the console's administrative nature, the attacker could potentially perform actions on behalf of an authenticated administrator.

Mitigation

IBM released fixes for this vulnerability in WebSphere Application Server versions 6.1.0.35 and 7.0.0.13 [1][2]. Administrators should upgrade to these or later fix pack levels. No workarounds are documented in the available references. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog as of the publication date.
