ET WEB_SPECIFIC_APPS Possible JBoss JMX Console Beanshell Deployer WAR Upload

[nidhinjo]

This module can be used to install a WAR file payload on JBoss servers that have an exposed "jmx-console" application. The payload is put on the server by using the jboss.system:BSHDeployer\'s createScriptDeployment() method. This signature detects attempts to exploit a vulnerability in JBoss which could result in remote code execution. The default configuration of JBoss does not restrict access to the console and web management interfaces. This allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrative access via direct requests.

Severity: High

This attack could pose a serious security threat. You should take immediate action to stop any damage or prevent further damage from happening.
