Description:
David Ferguson has reported a vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the authentication handling. This can be exploited to bypass authentication and access certain administration pages (e.g. "Services", "Redirector Service", "Directory Service", and "OS/400 Proxy Server") by manipulating the "pnl" parameter in the URL.
NOTE: The "Users/Groups" and "Licenses" pages can not be accessed.
The vulnerability is reported in versions 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 9.07 or 10.0.1.
A workaround is also available for versions 7 and 8. Please see the vendor's advisory for more information.
