The Administrative Console component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1.0.x before 6.1.0.31 and 7.x before 7.0.0.15 does not prevent modifications of the primary admin id, which allows remote authenticated administrators to bypass intended access restrictions by mapping a (1) user or (2) group to an administrator role.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.
