What it is
An action never checks whether the caller is allowed to perform it.
How it is reached
The record does not say yet how the flaw is reached; the description below is the best guide until it is scored.
What an attacker gains
Its impact has not been scored yet. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Apache TomEE to 10.0.0-M1 or later.
Description from NVD
The optional SSH administration service grants full access to the administration shell to every user that authenticates against its configured login domain, without checking for an administrative role. An attacker holding the credentials of any user in that domain, including a low-privileged application user, can execute arbitrary code as the server process. Users are recommended to disable the SSH administration service, or to block network access to it from untrusted clients and restrict its login domain to administrative users.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Permission checks in APIs and admin surfaces. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
- Multi-tenant services. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
Trust boundaries in play
- Between one role or tenant and another. An attacker who crosses it can reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Apache TomEE run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances are reachable by people you do not trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
