CVE-2010-0738
Red Hat JBoss Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. Exploitation in the wild is confirmed by CISA, not predicted, and the vulnerability is known to be used in ransomware campaigns. Federal agencies were required to remediate by 2022-06-15 (that deadline has passed); treat that date as the outer bound for your own environment. Check the vendor security advisory for the fix.
Risk summary
Actively exploited Red Hat JBoss vulnerability, Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. Added to the CISA KEV catalog 2022-05-25.
Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2010-0738
Its Medium Severity rating (CVSS 5.3) badly undersells this one: the JBoss JMX-Console only enforced access control on GET and POST, attackers reach the same handler with other HTTP methods, and ransomware crews have used it. EPSS puts exploit probability at 79%. An exposed JMX-Console on an old JBoss Enterprise Application Platform install is effectively an open admin panel.
Do this: Find any accessible JBoss JMX-Console and take it off the network or enforce authentication across all HTTP methods.
