Descriptions

The GUI installer in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) and Enterprise Web Platform (EWP) 5.2.0 and possibly 5.1.2 uses world-readable permissions for the auto-install XML file, which allows local users to obtain the administrator password and the sucker password by reading this file.

El instalador GUI en JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) y Enterprise Web Platform (EWP) v5.2.0 y posiblemente v5.1.2 usa permisos de lectura para todos los usuarios en el fichero XML auto-install, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener el password del administrador mediante la lecutra de dicho fichero.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is a platform for Java applications, which integrates the JBoss Application Server with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam. The GUI installer created a world-readable auto-install XML file containing both the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform administrator password and the sucker password for the selected messaging system in plain text. A local user able to access the directory where the GUI installer for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 was run could use this flaw to gain administrative access to the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform instance.
