What it is about

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform ist eine skalierbare Plattform für Java-Anwendungen, inklusive JBoss Application Server, JBoss Hibernate und Boss Seam. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, ein Cross-Site-Scritping-Angriff durchzuführen, Informationen offenzulegen, einen Denial of Service Zustand herbeizuführen oder Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen
  • ein Cross-Site-Scritping-Angriff durchzuführen
