Synopsis

The remote WebSphere Application Server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote IBM WebSphere Application Server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to unsafe deserialize calls of unauthenticated Java objects to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a crafted SOAP request, to execute arbitrary code on the target host.

Solution

Apply the appropriate interim fix per the vendor advisory. Alternatively, ensure that all exposed ports used by the WebSphere Application Server are firewalled from any public networks.

How to Run

Here is how to run the IBM WebSphere Java Object Deserialization RCE as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Web Servers plugin family.
On the right side table select IBM WebSphere Java Object Deserialization RCE plugin ID 87171.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl websphere_java_serialize.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a websphere_java_serialize.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - websphere_java_serialize.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state websphere_java_serialize.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
