CVE-2017-1501
IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 could provide weaker than expected security after using the Admin Console to update the web services security bindings settings.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
