Description
IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0 and earlier, when sharing the document root of the web server, allows remote attackers to obtain the source code for Java Server Pages (.jsp) via an HTTP request with an invalid Host header, which causes the page to be processed by the web server instead of the JSP engine.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
