KEVEXPLOIT ✓HIGH 8.8EPSS 83.4%

Does this matter?

Known to be exploited in the wild (CISA KEV, CISA remediation deadline 10 June 2022). Treat as an emergency change: patch or isolate now, then hunt for prior compromise.

Description

JBoss Seam 2 (jboss-seam2), as used in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3.0 for Red Hat Linux, does not properly sanitize inputs for JBoss Expression Language (EL) expressions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when the Java Security Manager is not properly configured.
