APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In development of the application using JSF, The value of "javax.face. ViewState" is set to input field of hidden. This means for implicit prevention of CSRF. When the value of "javax.face.ViewState" is falsified maliciously, the application can prevent CSRF attack by displaying the error message. However, when this value is set to "stateless", the application can't prevent CSRF attack due to be regarded as stateless view. To deal with this problem, the statement of protected-view is set in faces-config.xml, though, that doesn't work in WAS liberty 16.0.0.4.
