LowCVSS 3.7 · v2.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 14/100)

  • 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: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: apache-commons-daemon-eap6 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 1:1.0.15-4.redhat_1.ep6.el5; apache-commons-daemon-jsvc-eap6 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 1:1.0.15-1.redhat_1.ep6.el5; apache-commons-daemon-jsvc-eap6-debuginfo (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 1:1.0.15-1.redhat_1.ep6.el5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to apache-commons-daemon-eap6 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 1:1.0.15-4.redhat_1.ep6.el5; apache-commons-daemon-jsvc-eap6 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 1:1.0.15-1.redhat_1.ep6.el5; apache-commons-daemon-jsvc-eap6-debuginfo (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 1:1.0.15-1.redhat_1.ep6.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 · FIRST EPSS

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 6.1.0 and JBoss Portal before 6.1.0 does not load the implementation of a custom authorization module for a new application when an implementation is already loaded and the modules share class names, which allows local users to control certain applications' authorization decisions via a crafted application.
