Cenzic Protects Against the IBM WebSphere Application Server WSPolicy Information Disclosure Vulnerability

The IBM WebSphere Application Server WSPolicy Information Disclosure Vulnerability is now supported in the Cenzic Web Server SmartAttack

As of March 13, 2009, Cenzic now protects against the IBM WebSphere Application Server WSPolicy Information Disclosure Vulnerability. (BugtraqID 33879).

The IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is prone to a local information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to properly recognize a certain access policy.   Exploiting this issue may allow a local attacker to access sensitive information that may aid in further attacks.

Additionally, Cenzic updated its attack library to enable Hailstorm users to control the number of injections performed by each Fault Injector SmartAttack on each field in the Web Application at a granular level, including:

Remote File Inclusion (1.0.5)
Application Exception (1.5.2)
Application Path Disclosure (1.0.2)
