Have the Manage component and WebSphere liberty component separate from Security vulnerabilities point of view

Hi IBM,

Due to pen test, few vulnerabilities were found in WebSphere liberty. IBM recommended to upgrade the Manage fix pack. But it is not helpful for highly complex/customized Maximo environment. It will take 3-4 months of effort just to put a fix pack with complete test lifecycle, before it is put on production.

Earlier till 7.6, if vulnerabilities were found in WebSphere, only patches were being installed on WAS component. There was no impact due to this on Maximo version.

So, requesting IBM to provide a way, where one can just apply the fix pack on WebSphere liberty for vulnerabilities and it won't impact Maximo versions and behavior at all.

Hope my ask is clear. If any query, please let me know.
