DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in IBM Rational Policy Tester and
IBM Security AppScan Enterprise, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct spoofing attacks.

The security issue is caused due to the application not validating
SSL certificates while scanning or manually exploring HTTPS sites.
This can be exploited to spoof a valid target via e.g.
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.

The security issue is reported in IBM Rational Policy Tester versions
prior to 8.5.0.3 and IBM Security AppScan Enterprise versions prior to
8.6.0.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to a fixed version.
