Error description
IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.5.0 includes an web-based application for administering the IBM BPM document store. A cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2014-4763) and a vulnerability in an embedded open source library for XML processing (CVE-2014-0107) have been reported.
Local fix
In the administrative console, go to Applications > Application Types > WebSphere Enterprise Applications > IBM_BPM_DocStoreAdmin_<clusterName> > Security role to user/group mapping and remove all users and groups from the role mapping.
Problem summary
The vulnerable application is required only for IBM Support to gather additional information. By default, only one administrative user (deployment environment administrator) may access the application. You can prevent access to the application by removing all users and groups from the security role mapping in this application.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that updates the vulnerable administrative user interface to use a fixed version of the open source library and to properly encode user input to prevent cross-site scripting. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR51503: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR51503, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
