CVE-2021-20454

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM WebSphere Application Server versions 7.0 through 9.0

Description: The issue allows a remote attacker to perform an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) attack when the software processes XML data. This could lead to the exposure of sensitive information or the consumption of memory resources.

Recommendations: For IBM WebSphere Application Server versions 7.0 through 9.0, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue to prevent XXE attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of external XML entities to minimize the risk of exploitation.
