Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in JMX-Console in JBossAs in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBoss EAP or JBEAP)
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 18/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 83% of all records.
- Fixed version: jboss-seam (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.2.0::el4) 0:1.2.1-1.ep1.22.el4; jboss-seam-docs (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.2.0::el4) 0:1.2.1-1.ep1.22.el4; jbossas (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.2.0::el4) 0:4.2.0-5.GA_CP08.5.ep1.el4.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to jboss-seam (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.2.0::el4) 0:1.2.1-1.ep1.22.el4; jboss-seam-docs (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.2.0::el4) 0:1.2.1-1.ep1.22.el4; jbossas (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.2.0::el4) 0:4.2.0-5.GA_CP08.5.ep1.el4 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in JMX-Console in JBossAs in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBoss EAP or JBEAP) 4.2 before 4.2.0.CP08 and 4.3 before 4.3.0.CP07 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the filter parameter, related to the key property and the position of quote and colon characters.
