CVE-2011-1311 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) versions prior to 7.0.0.15. Specifically, when using J2EE 1.4 applications, WAS incorrectly uses ibm-application-bnd.xml instead of ibm-application-bnd.xmi for security role mapping. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.0) allows remote authenticated users to potentially gain elevated privileges by requesting a service, with a network attack vector and medium attack complexity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
