Unauthorized cross-application access via shared authentication cache
Published Jan 2, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Incorrect authorization in Red Hat JBoss EAP 6 allows remote authenticated users to access protected resources across applications. The security domain caches an authenticated identity once and reuses it for every application assigned to that domain instead of isolating cached authentications per application. Exposure requires at least two applications to share a cache-enabled security domain; authentication to one can then satisfy access checks for protected resources in another.
