CVE-2007-1036: JBoss default configuration exposes console and web management interfaces
Jboss · Jboss Application Server
The default configuration of JBoss does not restrict access to the console and web management interfaces, allowing authentication to be bypassed. Because these interfaces are reachable directly, an unauthenticated remote attacker can obtain administrative control of the server. The record does not specify affected versions or a fixed release.
Description
The default configuration of JBoss does not restrict access to the (1) console and (2) web management interfaces, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrative access via direct requests.
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Automated analysis
high priorityUnauthenticated remote administrative access with a very high EPSS score, though the record lacks affected version and patch detail.
What it is
The default configuration of JBoss does not restrict access to the console and web management interfaces, allowing authentication to be bypassed. Because these interfaces are reachable directly, an unauthenticated remote attacker can obtain administrative control of the server. The record does not specify affected versions or a fixed release.
Impact
An attacker gains administrative access to the JBoss server, which can lead to deployment of malicious applications, configuration changes and full compromise of hosted services.
Attack surface
Reachable over the network via direct HTTP requests to the console and web management interfaces; the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N) indicates no authentication and no user interaction are required.
Exploitation
Not listed in CISA KEV and no ransomware associations are recorded, but EPSS is very high (0.818, 99.6th percentile), suggesting significant observed exploitation activity; reference tags provide no exploit-specific information.
What to do
- Apply the vendor's configuration guidance to restrict access to the JMX console and web management interfaces (see the SecureJBoss and SecureTheJmxConsole references).
- Bind management interfaces to localhost or a restricted management network and block external access with firewall rules.
- Enable authentication and authorization on the console and management endpoints, replacing default credentials.
- Remove or disable unused management consoles and deploy the server behind a reverse proxy that filters management paths.
- Monitor vendor advisories for a patched release, since the record does not identify one.
Detection
- Review JBoss access logs for direct requests to /jmx-console, /web-console and similar management paths from external or unexpected source IPs.
- Alert on successful management interface access without a preceding authentication event.
- Audit JBoss configuration files for management endpoints exposed on non-loopback interfaces.
- Baseline and monitor for new application deployments or configuration changes made through the management interfaces.
