Cenzic Protects Against IBM WebSphere Application Server Cluster Configuration File Information Disclosure Vulnerability

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

As of February 27, 2009, Cenzic now protects against the IBM WebSphere Application Server Cluster Configuration File Information Disclosure Vulnerability (BugtraqID 33905).

The IBM WebSphere Application Server is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to properly conceal sensitive configuration data. Exploiting this vulnerability allows hackers to access sensitive information that can aid in further attacks.

WebSphere Application Server 6.1.2 and 6.2 are vulnerable.

Background on Cenzic’s SmartAttacks
