Users in JBoss Management Security Realms must be in the appropriate role.
Vulnerability discussion
Security realms are a series of mappings between users and passwords and users and roles. There are 2 JBoss security realms provided by default; they are "management realm" and "application realm".Management realm stores authentication information for the management API, which provides functionality for the web-based management console and the management command line interface (CLI).mgmt-groups.properties stores user to group mapping for the ManagementRealm but only when role-based access controls (RBAC) is enabled.If management users are not in the appropriate role, unauthorized access to JBoss resources can occur.
Check content
Review the mgmt-users.properties file. Also review the section in the standalone.xml or domain.xml configuration files. The relevant xml file will depend on if the JBoss server is configured in standalone or domain mode.
Ensure all users listed in these files are approved for management access to the JBoss server and are in the appropriate role.
For domain configurations:
/domain/configuration/mgmt-users.properties.
/domain/configuration/domain.xml
For standalone configurations:
/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties.
/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml
If the users listed are not in the appropriate role, this is a finding.
Fix text
Document approved management users and their roles. Configure the application server to use RBAC and ensure users are placed into the appropriate roles.
Pro Tips
Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS
class id
, if you view the page source) point to
globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the
link location and paste anywhere you need to talk
unambiguously about these things.
You can obtain data about documents and items in other
formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept:
text/turtle
or
Accept: application/rdf+xml
.
