The Web Console (aka web-console) in JBossAs in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBoss EAP or JBEAP) 4.2 before 4.2.0.CP09 and 4.3 before 4.3.0.CP08 performs access control only for the GET and POST methods, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an unspecified request that uses a different method.

According to its self-reported version number, the remote Junos Space version is prior to 13.3R1.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in bundled third party software components :

  - Multiple vulnerabilities in RedHat JBoss application     server. (CVE-2010-0738, CVE-2010-1428, CVE-2010-1429,     CVE-2011-5245, CVE-2012-0818)

  - Multiple vulnerabilities in Oracle Java SE JDK.
    (CVE-2012-3143, CVE-2013-1537, CVE-2013-1557,     CVE-2013-2422)

  - Multiple vulnerabilities in Oracle MySQL server.
    (CVE-2013-1502, CVE-2013-1511, CVE-2013-1532,     CVE-2013-1544, CVE-2013-2375, CVE-2013-2376,     CVE-2013-2389, CVE-2013-2391, CVE-2013-2392,     CVE-2013-3783, CVE-2013-3793, CVE-2013-3794,     CVE-2013-3801, CVE-2013-3802, CVE-2013-3804,     CVE-2013-3805, CVE-2013-3808, CVE-2013-3809,     CVE-2013-3812, CVE-2013-3839)

  - Multiple vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server.
    (CVE-2013-1862, CVE-2013-1896)

  - Known hard-coded MySQL credentials. (CVE-2014-3413)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0379 advisory.

    JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is the market leading platform for     innovative and scalable Java applications; integrating the JBoss     Application Server, with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam into a complete,     simple enterprise solution.

    This release of JBEAP for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 serves as a     replacement to JBEAP 4.3.0.CP07.

    These updated packages include multiple bug fixes which are detailed in the     Release Notes. The Release Notes will be available shortly from the link     in the References section.

    The following security issues are also fixed with this release:

    The JMX Console configuration only specified an authentication requirement     for requests that used the GET and POST HTTP verbs. A remote attacker     could create an HTTP request that does not specify GET or POST, causing it     to be executed by the default GET handler without authentication. This     release contains a JMX Console with an updated configuration that no longer     specifies the HTTP verbs. This means that the authentication requirement is     applied to all requests. (CVE-2010-0738)

    For the CVE-2010-0738 issue, if an immediate upgrade is not possible or the     server deployment has been customized, a manual fix can be applied. Refer     to the Security subsection of the Issues fixed in this release section     (JBPAPP-3952) of the JBEAP Release Notes, linked to in the References, for     details. Contact Red Hat JBoss Support for advice before making the changes     noted in the Release Notes.

    Red Hat would like to thank Stefano Di Paola and Giorgio Fedon of Minded     Security for responsibly reporting the CVE-2010-0738 issue.

    Unauthenticated access to the JBoss Application Server Web Console     (/web-console) is blocked by default. However, it was found that this block     was incomplete, and only blocked GET and POST HTTP verbs. A remote attacker     could use this flaw to gain access to sensitive information. This release     contains a Web Console with an updated configuration that now blocks all     unauthenticated access to it by default. (CVE-2010-1428)

    The RHSA-2008:0828 update fixed an issue (CVE-2008-3273) where     unauthenticated users were able to access the status servlet; however, a     bug fix included in the RHSA-2009:0349 update re-introduced the issue. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to acquire details about deployed web     contexts. (CVE-2010-1429)

    Warning: Before applying this update, please backup the JBEAP     server/[configuration]/deploy/ directory, and any other customized     configuration files.

    All users of JBEAP 4.3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are advised to upgrade     to these updated packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

All users of JBEAP 4.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.

The remote host is running JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBEAP) < 4.2.0.CP09 / 4.3.0.CP08.  Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - The JMX Console configuration only specified an authentication requirement for requests that used the GET and POST HTTP 'verbs'.  A remote attacker could create an HTTP request that does not specify GET or POST, causing it to be executed by the default GET handler without authentication. (CVE-2010-0738)

  - It is possible to bypass authentication for /web-console by specifying a HTTP method other than GET or POST. (CVE-2010-1428)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability that allows attackers to acquired details about deployed web contexts. (CVE-2010-1429)

The version of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) running on the remote host allows unauthenticated access to certain documents under the '/web-console' directory.  This is due to a misconfiguration in 'web.xml' that only requires authentication for GET and POST requests.  Specifying a different command such as HEAD, DELETE or PUT causes the default GET handler to be used without authentication.

A remote attacker can exploit this to obtain sensitive information without providing authentication.

This version of JBoss EAP likely has other vulnerabilities, though Nessus has not checked for those issues.
