Error description
Because there is no access restriction based on service type when invoking a service using the callService URL, services that were meant for internal use only are exposed. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Problem summary
A user might click links that call sensitive services through callService.do, because there currently is no mechanism to restrict such calls.
Problem conclusion
A fix for all releases of IBM BPM and WLE enables administrators to restrict callable services by type. The fix is secure by default and only allows AJAX services to be invoked via the callService.do URL. If you have custom client applications relying on callService.do exposing service types other than Ajax Services, you need to add configuration as described below. A configuration property is introduced to specify the whitelist of callable services. In 100Custom.xml, you can add the callservice-valid-services stanza to list one or more valid-service-entry elements: <server> <portal merge="mergeChildren"> <callservice-valid-services> <valid-service-entry>Ajax Service</valid-service-entry> </callservice-valid-services> </portal> </server> Possible values for valid-service-entry are: * all * none * Regular Service * Rule Service * Ajax Service * Human Service * Integration Service * Installation Service * General System Service * SCA Service * Case Manager Integration Service * Undercover Agent Passthrough Service If either the special keyword "all" or "none" is encountered in the list, all other entries will be ignored.
