CVE-2024-25026
CVE-2024-25026 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server. It allows a remote attacker to exhaust server memory resources by sending a specially crafted request.
CVE-2024-25026 affects IBM WebSphere Application Server versions 8.5, 9.0, and IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty versions 17.0.0.3 through 24.0.0.4. Though the CVSS score is 0, indicating a base level of concern, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 34 suggests a moderate level of risk. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to server instability and unavailability. While not critical (SVRS above 80), organizations using affected WebSphere versions should investigate and apply necessary patches to mitigate the risk of a denial-of-service attack. The presence of the "In The Wild" tag suggests potential active exploitation.
