Discussion

IBM Multiple Products SSL Certificate Validation Security Bypass Vulnerability

IBM Rational Policy Tester and IBM Rational AppScan Enterprise are prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate SSL certificates.

Attackers can exploit this issue to display incorrect SSL certificates. Successful exploits will cause victims to accept the certificates assuming they are from a legitimate site.

IBM Rational Policy Tester versions prior to 8.5.0.3 and IBM Security AppScan Enterprise versions prior to 8.6.0.2 are vulnerable.
