CVE-2007-1354: JBoss Application Server

Medium severity, CVSS 6.0. EPSS: 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Access Control functionality (JMXOpsAccessControlFilter) in JMX Console in JBoss Application Server 4.0.2 and 4.0.5 before 20070416 uses a member variable to store the roles of the current user, which allows remote authenticated administrators to trigger a race condition and gain privileges by logging in during a session by a more privileged administrator, as demonstrated by privilege escalation from Read Mode to Write Mode.

Affected products
