MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an already-authenticated JBoss EAP management account with at least a low-privileged role such as Monitor, plus network reachability to the management interface; the attacker then calls the read-resource operation on the platform-mbean runtime management resource, whose handler omits the RBAC check. Exploitation is limited by that authentication requirement (PR:L - no anonymous access) and is confined to reading data: there is no write, code-execution, or denial-of-service path (I:N/A:N). The practical value of the disclosed data depends on whether the deployment stores sensitive values in JVM system properties. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority information-disclosure issue rather than a high-urgency flaw. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N: exploitation is network-reachable and low-complexity, but PR:L means the attacker must already hold a valid, authenticated management account (e.g. the Monitor role), and impact is confined to confidentiality (I:N/A:N) - there is no integrity or availability effect and no scope change. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', not act_now or emergency, which is consistent with the limited impact. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no proof-of-concept were supplied in the input - the only two references are the Red Hat CVE advisory and a Red Hat Bugzilla entry, neither of which is verified exploit code. Signals are therefore internally consistent rather than conflicting: a medium CVSS, a 'this_month' priority, no active-exploitation evidence, and authentication-gated confidentiality-only impact all point the same way. The main caveat is that the real sensitivity depends on what the exposed JVM system properties contain in a given deployment - if operators store secrets (passwords, tokens) in system properties, a low-privileged monitor account could harvest them, which justifies Red Hat's C:H rating; in deployments with only benign configuration data the practical confidentiality loss is lower. EPSS and KEV absence is noted but not treated as an error - absence of those signals is expected for a freshly disclosed, authentication-gated disclosure bug. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An insider or a compromised account holding only the low-privileged Monitor role connects to the JBoss EAP management interface and issues a read-resource operation against the platform-mbean runtime management resource. Because the handler skips the required RBAC check, the server returns JVM configuration and system properties that the Monitor role should not be able to see, potentially including secrets stored as system properties. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires valid authenticated management credentials. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Information disclosure in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 and 8 (plus EAP Expansion Pack and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7, which embed the same management layer) lets any authenticated management user holding a low-privileged role such as Monitor read JVM system properties and configuration details that should be restricted, because the handler for the read-resource operation on the platform-mbean runtime resource omits its RBAC check. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N): the requirement for an existing low-privileged management account (PR:L) caps the severity, and the impact is confidentiality-only with no write, code-execution or denial-of-service path. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vendor-reported issue is tracked as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization); priority is this_month, since the practical value of the leak depends on whether a given deployment stores secrets in JVM system properties.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; fixes for JBoss EAP 7, EAP 8, the EAP Expansion Pack and RH-SSO 7 are expected to be announced through https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-19610 and tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2514537, so subscribe to those records and apply the patched build for each branch as soon as Red Hat publishes it. Until then, the exposure is bounded by the two preconditions the flaw depends on: an authenticated low-privileged management account and reachability of the management interface. Restrict the management ports (HTTP/HTTPS 9990 and the native management port) to a dedicated administrative network or bastion with firewall or binding-level controls - trade-off: administrators lose direct remote access and must route through the bastion or a management console. Audit management accounts and remove or downgrade Monitor/read-only role assignments for users who have no operational need to inspect runtime JVM state - trade-off: monitoring integrations that rely on those roles will need a reviewed service account instead. Avoid placing secrets in JVM system properties (prefer Elytron credential stores, vault expressions or environment-injected credentials) so that any residual RBAC gap yields less valuable data - trade-off: requires configuration changes and re-testing of datasource, LDAP and keystore wiring. Log and alert on read-resource calls against platform-mbean runtime resources by non-administrative principals to detect probing - trade-off: audit logging volume increases on the management interface.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the platform-mbean subsystem, the part of the JBoss EAP management model that exposes JVM-level metrics and configuration through the management interface (typically the HTTP/HTTPS management port, e.g. 9990, and the native management port). JBoss EAP's management layer implements Role-Based Access Control over its resource tree, with roles such as Monitor, Operator, Maintainer, Deployer, Auditor and SuperUser determining which attributes a caller may read or write. The read-resource operation against the runtime platform-mbean resource is supposed to enforce those role constraints, but the handler performs the read without the required RBAC check, so a caller authenticated with only the read-oriented Monitor role receives attribute values that the role model intends to withhold. Classified as CWE-862 Missing Authorization, the defect is an access-control omission in a management handler rather than a memory-safety or injection flaw; the trigger path beyond the RBAC-skipping handler is not described in the available sources. CPE data ties the issue to red_hat:red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform_7, red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform_8, red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform_expansion_pack and red_hat_single_sign-on_7, all of which share this management stack. Exposure requires the management interface to be reachable by the attacker; the confidentiality impact is scored High (C:H) because JVM system properties frequently carry datasource credentials, keystore and truststore passwords, LDAP bind credentials and service endpoints, but the real-world severity varies by deployment.

DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in the platform-mbean component of JBoss EAP, which provides management access to JVM-level metrics and configurations. The issue occurs because the handler for the read-resource operation on the runtime management resource fails to perform required Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) checks. This allows an authenticated user with low-privileged access, such as the Monitor role, to view sensitive system properties and JVM configuration details that should be restricted.
