Summary

The URL pattern matching feature in BEA WebLogic Server 6.x matches illegal patterns ending in "*" as wildcards as if they were the legal "/*" pattern, which could cause WebLogic 7.x to allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions because the illegal patterns are properly rejected.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to protected resources, potentially leading to data confidentiality or integrity breaches.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade BEA WebLogic Server to a version that fixes URL pattern handling, or manually configure access rules to reject illegal patterns.
