CVE-2006-7164

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—

SimpleFileServlet in IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.0.1 through 5.0.2.7 on Linux and UNIX does not block certain invalid URIs and does not issue a security challenge, which allows remote attackers to read secure files and obtain sensitive information via certain requests.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
