This module scans a JBoss instance for a few vulnerabilities.

Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

  • normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Basic Usage

This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/jboss_vulnscan
msf auxiliary(jboss_vulnscan) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(jboss_vulnscan) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(jboss_vulnscan) > exploit

Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:

Example 1:

msf auxiliary(jboss_vulnscan) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200

Example 2:

msf auxiliary(jboss_vulnscan) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24

Example 3:

msf auxiliary(jboss_vulnscan) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Required Options

  • RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'

Knowledge Base

Description

This module scans a JBoss instance for a few vulnerabilities.

Vulnerable Software

The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (or JBoss EAP) is a subscription-based/open-source Java EE-based application server runtime platform used for building, deploying, and hosting highly-transactional Java applications and services

This module has been successfully tested on:

  • Apache-Coyote/1.1 ( Powered by Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.2.0.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_0_GA date=200705111440)/Tomcat-5.5 )

Verification Steps

  1. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/http/jboss_vulnscan
  2. Do: set RHOSTS [IP]
  3. Do: run
