Yes. CVE-2010-0738, Red Hat JBoss Authentication Bypass Vulnerability, is being exploited in the wild. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 25 May 2022, 4410 days after it was published. It is known to be used in ransomware campaigns. It affects Red Hat JBoss. If you run it, CISA's required action is: Apply updates per vendor instructions.

What it is

The JMX-Console web application in JBossAs in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform performs access control only for the GET and POST methods, which allows remote attackers to send requests to this application's GET handler by using a different method.

What to do

1. Check whether you run it. Look for JBoss in your asset inventory, including appliances and cloud images. Stack check lists every exploited Red Hat CVE at once.
2. Apply the fix. Apply updates per vendor instructions.
3. If you can't patch today, take the affected service off the internet or restrict who can reach it, and check its logs for signs of compromise since 28 Apr 2010.
4. Get told next time. Email alerts when CISA adds a CVE for Red Hat.
