Security Bulletin: Cross-site scripting vulnerability in OAuth ear in WebSphere
Application Server (CVE-2018-1794)
Security Bulletin
Document information
More support for: WebSphere Application Server
Software version: 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0

Summary
There is a potential cross-site scripting vulnerability in the OAuth ear in
WebSphere Application Server.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2018-1794
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server using OAuth ear is vulnerable to
cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary
JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality
potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
CVSS Base Score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
148949 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
Affected Products and Versions
This vulnerability affects the following versions and releases of IBM WebSphere
Application Server:
o Version 9.0
o Version 8.5
o Version 8.0
o Version 7.0
Remediation/Fixes
The recommended solution is to apply the interim fix, Fix Pack or PTF
containing the APARs for each named product as soon as practical.
Note: After the interim fix for this APAR is installed, the fix will not be
active until the installed OAuth 2.0 client application,
WebSphereOauth20SP.ear, is updated from the (WAS_HOME)/installableApps
directory.
WebSphereOauth20SP.ear may have initially been installed with the
installOAuth2Service.py script in the (WAS_HOME)/bin directory.
For WebSphere Application Server traditional and WebSphere Application Server
Hypervisor Edition:
For V9.0.0.0 through 9.0.0.9:
. Upgrade to minimal fix pack levels as required by interim fix and then apply
Interim Fix PH01753
- --OR--
. Apply Fix Pack 9.0.0.10 or later (targeted availability 4Q 2018).
For V8.5.0.0 through 8.5.5.14:
. Upgrade to minimal fix pack levels as required by interim fix and then apply
Interim Fix PH01753
- --OR--
. Apply Fix Pack 8.5.5.15 or later (targeted availability 1Q 2019).
For V8.0.0.0 through 8.0.0.15:
. Upgrade to a minimal fix pack levels as required by interim fix and then
apply Interim Fix PH01753
For V7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.45:
. Upgrade to a minimal fix pack levels as required by interim fix and then
apply Interim Fix PH01753
WebSphere Application Server V7 and V8 are no longer in full support; IBM
recommends upgrading to a fixed, supported version/release/platform of the
product.
Important Note
IBM strongly suggests that all System z customers be subscribed to the System z
Security Portal to receive the latest critical System z security and integrity
service. If you are not subscribed, see the instructions on the System z
Security web site. Security and integrity APARs and associated fixes will be
posted to this portal. IBM suggests reviewing the CVSS scores and applying all
security or integrity fixes as soon as possible to minimize any potential risk.

Summary
There are multiple security vulnerabilities in the GSKit used by Edge Caching
proxy of WebSphere Application Server.
This is a separate install from WebSphere Application Server. You only need to

CVEID: CVE-2018-1447
DESCRIPTION: The GSKit (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 7.2) and (IBM Spectrum
Protect Snapshot 4.1.3, 4.1.4, and 4.1.6) CMS KDB logic fails to salt the hash
function resulting in weaker than expected protection of passwords. A weak
password may be recovered. Note: After update the customer should change
password to ensure the new password is stored more securely. Products should
encourage customers to take this step as a high priority action. IBM X-Force
ID: 139972.

DESCRIPTION: IBM GSKit (IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows 9.7, 10.1, 10.5,
and 11.1) duplicates the PRNG state across fork() system calls when multiple
ICC instances are loaded which could result in duplicate Session IDs and a risk
of duplicate key material. IBM X-Force ID: 139071.
