Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

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: 2.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 85.3% 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: apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 0:2.7.18-5.SP4_redhat_1.1.ep6.el5; hornetq (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 0:2.3.25-18.SP16_redhat_1.1.ep6.el5; infinispan (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 0:5.2.20-1.Final_redhat_1.1.ep6.el5.
Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 4.3, NVD 6.5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 0:2.7.18-5.SP4_redhat_1.1.ep6.el5; hornetq (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 0:2.3.25-18.SP16_redhat_1.1.ep6.el5; infinispan (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:6::el5) 0:5.2.20-1.Final_redhat_1.1.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

admin-cli before versions 3.0.0.alpha25, 2.2.1.cr2 is vulnerable to an EAP feature to download server log files that allows logs to be available via GET requests making them vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be impaired.
