CVE-2015-1936
The administrative console in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 8.0.0 before 8.0.0.11 and 8.5 before 8.5.5.6, when the Security feature is disabled, allows remote authenticated users to hijack sessions via the JSESSIONID parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.67%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
