Abstract

Cross reference list for security vulnerabilities included in IBM WebSphere 
Application Server Fix Pack 8.0.0.3.
Content

CVE ID: CVE-2012-0720 (PM52274)

DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server Administration Console is vulnerable 
to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input 
by the Administrative Console. A remote attacker could exploit this 
vulnerability using unspecified attack vectors to inject script in a victims 
Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site.

CVSS:

CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: Seehttp://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/74044 for the current 
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS String: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

AFFECTED PLATFORMS: The following IBM WebSphere Application Server for 
distributed operating systems, IBM i operating systems, and z/OS operating 
system Versions are affected:
 Version 8
 Version 7
 Version 6.1

REMEDIATION: The recommended solution is to apply the Fix Pack or PTF for each 
named product as soon as practical

Fix:
Apply a Fix Pack or PTF containing this APAR PM52274, as noted below:

For IBM WebSphere Application Server

For V8.0 through 8.0.0.2:
o Install Fix Pack 3 (8.0.0.3), or later.

For V7.0 through 7.0.0.21:
o Install Fix Pack 23 (7.0.0.23), or later (targeted to be available 28 May 
2012).

For V6.1.0 through 6.1.0.41:
o Install Fix Pack 43 (6.1.0.43), or later.

 Workaround(s): None

 Mitigation(s): When you have the Administrator Console open, do not use your 
 web browser to visit other websites. Open another web browser to visit other 
 websites.
