Fixes

Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by applying a currently available interim fix or fix pack that contains the fix for APAR PH70352. IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty is affected by identity spoofing only when the appSecurity feature (appSecurity-1.0, appSecurity-2.0, appSecurity-3.0, appSecurity-4.0, or appSecurity-5.0) is not enabled on the server. To determine if a feature is enabled for IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty, refer to How to determine if Liberty is using a specific feature https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6553910 .  For IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty 17.0.0.3 - 26.0.0.4: · Upgrade to minimal fix pack levels as required by the interim fix and then apply the Interim Fix that resolves PH70352 https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7270436 --OR-- · Apply Liberty Fix Pack 26.0.0.5 or later (targeted availability 2Q2026).  Additional interim fixes may be available and linked off the interim fix download page.
