CVE-2018-1755
IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by incorrect transport being used when Liberty is configured to use Java Authentication SPI for Containers (JASPIC).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by incorrect transport being used when Liberty is configured to use Java Authentication SPI for Containers (JASPIC). This can happen when the Application Server is configured to permit access on non-secure (http) port and using JASPIC or JSR375 authentication.
