Noroxi assessment

Priority: Now (action score 90/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Dec 10, 2021). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jun 10, 2022.
  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 83.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.6% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: jboss-seam2 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.3.0::el4) 0:2.0.2.FP-1.ep1.24.el4; jboss-seam2-docs (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.3.0::el4) 0:2.0.2.FP-1.ep1.24.el4; jboss-seam2 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.3.0::el5) 0:2.0.2.FP-1.ep1.24.el5.

Patch today or shut off access. Upgrade to jboss-seam2 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.3.0::el4) 0:2.0.2.FP-1.ep1.24.el4; jboss-seam2-docs (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.3.0::el4) 0:2.0.2.FP-1.ep1.24.el4; jboss-seam2 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:4.3.0::el5) 0:2.0.2.FP-1.ep1.24.el5 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

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS

JBoss Seam 2 (jboss-seam2), as used in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3.0 for Red Hat Linux, does not properly sanitize inputs for JBoss Expression Language (EL) expressions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when the Java Security Manager is not properly configured.
