CVE-2009-2091
The System Management/Repository component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0 before 7.0.0.5 on z/OS uses weak file permissions for new applications, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
