Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 15.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 96.8% of all records.
  • Fixed version: aopalliance (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:1.0-5.2.jdk6.ep5.el4; apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.2.12-6.1.patch_04.ep5.el4; bsh2 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.0-0.b4.15.1.patch01.ep5.el4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to aopalliance (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:1.0-5.2.jdk6.ep5.el4; apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.2.12-6.1.patch_04.ep5.el4; bsh2 (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:5::el4) 0:2.0-0.b4.15.1.patch01.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 (1) JMXInvokerHAServlet and (2) EJBInvokerHAServlet invoker servlets in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 5.2.0, Web Platform (EWP) before 5.2.0, BRMS Platform before 5.3.1, and SOA Platform before 5.3.1 do not require authentication by default in certain profiles, which might allow remote attackers to invoke MBean methods and execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this issue can only be exploited when the interceptor is not properly configured with a "second layer of authentication," or when used in conjunction with other vulnerabilities that bypass this second layer.

    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.
