Information about a security vulnerability affecting WAS has been published in a security bulletin. Vulnerability Details Refer to the security bulletin(s) listed in the Remediation/Fixes section. Affected Products and Versions IBM Rational ClearQuest, ClearQuest CM Server component. Versions 8.0.0.x, 8.0.1.x, 9.0.0.x, 9.0.1.x: This vulnerability only applies to the server component, and only for certain levels of WebSphere Application Server. Remediation/Fixes Refer to the following security bulletin for vulnerability details and information about fixes addressed by IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS), which is shipped with IBM Rational ClearQuest. NOTE: There is a potential cross-site scripting vulnerability with the Installation Verification Tool (IVT) of WAS. On a standalone application server profile, the "ivtApp" application is used by the IVT. The application is also available as an installable Enterprise Application aRchive (EAR) file which is located at <WAS_HOME>/installableApps/ivtApp.ear. It will require manual steps from an administrator/user to update a profile/server-configuration that has already had the ivtApp.ear deployed either from profile creation or by an administrator/user. The profile directory is either the profile you specified when installing ClearQuest, or <clearquest-home>/cqweb/cqwebprofile. If your profile only hosts the ClearQuest applications, uninstall the ivtApp from its profile. If your profile hosts other applications and you have a further need for the ivtApp, then it should be updated or uninstalled and reinstalled with the updated ivtApp.ear from <WAS_HOME>/installableApps/ivtApp.ear See the details in the WAS bulletin on how to manually uninstall the ivtApp. Principal Product and Version(s) Affected Supporting Product and Version Affected Supporting Product Security Bulletin IBM Rational ClearQuest, versions 8.0.0.x, 8.0.1.x, 9.0.0.x, 9.0.1.x IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0, 8.5 and 9.0. Security Bulletin: Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Installation Verification Tool of WebSphere Application Server (CVE-2018-1643) ClearQuest Versions Applying the fix 8.0.0.x 8.0.1.x 9.0.0.x 9.0.1.x Determine the WAS version used by your CM server. Navigate to the CM profile directory (either the profile you specified when installing ClearQuest, or <clearquest-home>/cqweb/cqwebprofile), then execute the script: bin/versionInfo.sh (UNIX) or bin\versionInfo.bat (Windows). The output includes a section "IBM WebSphere Application Server". Make note of the version listed in this section. Identify the latest available fix (per the bulletin listed above) for the version of WAS used for CM server. Apply the appropriate WebSphere Application Server fix directly to your CM server host. No ClearQuest-specific steps are necessary. For 7.0.x, 7.1.x and earlier releases, IBM recommends upgrading to a fixed, supported version/release/platform of the product. Workarounds and Mitigations None.
