Authentication bypass via inbound propagation handling
Published Oct 13, 2026 · Updated Oct 13, 2026
Authentication bypass in IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 allows remote attackers to evade login via CSIv2 propagation. The supplied record identifies the CSIv2 inbound propagation handler, but the faulty operation and triggering input are not publicly established. Exploitation requires access to the affected handler; additional configuration requirements and the extent of access gained remain unspecified.
