CVE-2005-3498

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2005-3498 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server versions 5.0.x, 5.1.x, and 6.x. When session tracing is enabled, the server logs full URLs, including query strings, if an application encodes a URL, potentially exposing sensitive data. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.3, indicating a medium attack complexity and potential for partial confidentiality impact, with no authentication required. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code beyond an auxiliary Metasploit module for HTTP Options Detection, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 97/100 suggests a significant theoretical risk.
