Vulnerability Details
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code through an administrative client class with a serialized object from untrusted sources.
CVSS Base Score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/152533
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server could allow a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused when a security domain is configured to use a federated repository other than global federated repository and then migrated to a newer release of WebSphere Application Server.
CVSS Base Score: 6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/150813
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L)
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server could allow a remote attacker to temporarily gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by incorrect cached value being used.
