CVE-2009-2743
Status: ModifiedLow (2.1)—
IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 before 6.1.0.27, and 7.0 before 7.0.0.7, does not properly handle an exception occurring after use of wsadmin scripts and configuration of JAAS-J2C Authentication Data, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) log file.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 2.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.39%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 31
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
