JBoss jBPM Administration Console is a web-based tool used for business process management and workflow automation within JBoss, an open-source application server. It is predominantly used by developers and organizations seeking to create, administer, and monitor their business processes. The console allows for the deployment and execution of business processes, providing a vital interface for users to interact with and manage workflow tasks. JBoss jBPM is implemented across various industries to enhance efficiency, minimize errors, and streamline operations. As a part of Red Hat's middleware solutions, it is instrumental in helping companies to automate their day-to-day tasks and orchestrate complex workflows.
The vulnerability detected by this scanner is the presence of default login credentials within the JBoss jBPM Administration Console. Default credentials refer to pre-set usernames and passwords, which are often found in publicly accessible software. This is typically a security misconfiguration that can be exploited by malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to the administration console. Such vulnerabilities are common when users fail to change the default settings upon installation of the console, leaving the system exposed to potential breaches.
The vulnerability details for the JBoss jBPM Administration Console involve endpoints that utilize default credentials such as 'manager', 'user', 'shipper', and 'admin'. Attackers can gain entry into the system through these default user-password combinations to access sensitive business processes and data. The security risk is significant as it allows attackers to perform unauthorized operations or extract valuable information. The scanner checks these specific endpoints and combinations to verify the presence of this vulnerability.
The possible effects of exploiting this vulnerability include unauthorized access to the console, which could lead to data breaches, manipulation of business processes, and potential system downtime. An attacker gaining access through default credentials can view or alter sensitive data, disrupt business operations, and cause financial and reputational damage to the organization. Additionally, exploitation of this vulnerability could serve as a gateway for further attacks within the infrastructure.
