Summary

An access control vulnerability exists in IBM FileNet Content Manager 4.0, 4.0.1, and 4.5, particularly when integrated with IBM WebSphere Application Server and Oracle BEA WebLogic Application Server. When the CE Web Services listener is configured with a specific WSEAF setting, it fails to properly restrict the utilization of a cached Subject. This flaw could allow remote attackers to leverage cached credentials from a recently authenticated user, potentially granting them unauthorized access to sensitive information or functionalities. Safeguarding proper configurations and applying security patches is crucial to mitigate this risk.
