Exploitation Summary

CVE-2012-0874 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV), including in ransomware campaigns. EIP tracks 1 public exploit from researchers including rgod.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets a deserialization vulnerability in EMC Data Protection Advisor's EJBInvokerServlet, allowing remote code execution with SYSTEM privileges. It crafts a malicious serialized object to deploy a JSP shell and execute arbitrary commands.

Description

The (1) JMXInvokerHAServlet and (2) EJBInvokerHAServlet invoker servlets in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 5.2.0, Web Platform (EWP) before 5.2.0, BRMS Platform before 5.3.1, and SOA Platform before 5.3.1 do not require authentication by default in certain profiles, which might allow remote attackers to invoke MBean methods and execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this issue can only be exploited when the interceptor is not properly configured with a "second layer of authentication," or when used in conjunction with other vulnerabilities that bypass this second layer.
