CVE-2011-4085: The servlets invoked by httpha-invoker in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform before 5.1.2, SOA Platform before 5.2.0, BRMS Platform…

MediumCVSS 6.8 · v2.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)

  • 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: 2.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 87.3% of all records.
  • Fixed version: apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.2.12-4.patch_02.1.1.ep5.el4; cglib (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.2-5.3.ep5.el4; facelets (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:1.1.15-3.B1_patch_01.2.ep5.el4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.2.12-4.patch_02.1.1.ep5.el4; cglib (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.2-5.3.ep5.el4; facelets (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:1.1.15-3.B1_patch_01.2.ep5.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

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The servlets invoked by httpha-invoker in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform before 5.1.2, SOA Platform before 5.2.0, BRMS Platform before 5.3.0, and Portal Platform before 4.3 CP07 perform access control only for the GET and POST methods, which allow remote attackers to bypass authentication by sending a request with a different method. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2010-0738 regression.

    Weakness class (CWE)

    CWE-287 · Improper Authentication

    CVSS vector

    AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

    nvd-primary

    Root cause

    Authentication is added route by route instead of being enforced in one place. When a route added later bypasses the shared middleware, the session check never runs for it.

    The bug in code

    The whole CWE-287 class

    A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

    Vulnerable

    ts
    app.use("/admin", requireSession, adminRouter);
// Route added later skips the middlewareapp.post("/admin-api/config", updateConfig);

    Fixed

    ts
    const admin = express.Router();admin.use(requireSession, requireRole("admin"));
admin.post("/config", updateConfig);app.use("/admin", admin);

    Attack context

    MITRE CAPEC attack patterns and ATT&CK techniques for this weakness class (CWE). A starting point for detection rules and threat hunting.
