The WebSphere Application Server sample applications must be removed.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>WebSphere samples are not intended for use in a production environment. Do not run them there, as they create significant security risks. In particular, the snoop servlet can provide an outsider with tremendous amounts of information about your system. This is precisely the type of information you do not want to give a potential intruder. Do not install the samples during the profile creation or uninstall the sample programs.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
