CVE-2016-0306
IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0 before 7.0.0.41, 8.0 before 8.0.0.13, and 8.5 before 8.5.5.10, when FIPS 140-2 is enabled, misconfigures TLS, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
