CVE-2009-0903 describes a bypass vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) versions 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.3 and the Feature Pack for Web Services for WAS 6.1 prior to 6.1.0.25. When a WS-Security policy is configured at the operation level, the server fails to properly handle inbound requests missing a SOAPAction or WS-Addressing Action, allowing remote attackers to bypass access restrictions in JAX-WS applications. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity that could lead to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
