The Security component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15, when a J2EE 1.4 application is used, determines the security role mapping on the basis of the ibm-application-bnd.xml file instead of the intended ibm-application-bnd.xmi file, which might allow remote authenticated users to gain privileges in opportunistic circumstances by requesting a service.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older IBM WebSphere Application Server deployments before 7.0.0.15 when running J2EE 1.4 applications. WebSphere may use the wrong role-binding file to decide security roles, potentially letting an authenticated user receive privileges they should not have. Exposure is likely limited to legacy IBM WebSphere Application Server versions before 7.0.0.15 running J2EE 1.4 applications with relevant role-binding files. The provided CVE data does not identify broader products or versions. Treat this as a legacy access-control risk. Prioritize if old WebSphere 7 systems still host business-critical J2EE 1.4 applications, especially where authenticated users span multiple trust levels. Mitigation focus: Review IBM PM25455 for the official fix and applicability details.; Update affected WebSphere Application Server 7 deployments to 7.0.0.15 or later where applicable.; Inventory J2EE 1.4 applications using WebSphere security role mappings..
