NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jboss-as-server package and not the jboss-as-server package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Role Based Access Control (RBAC) implementation in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.2.0 through 6.3.2 does not properly verify authorization conditions, which allows remote authenticated users to add, modify, and undefine otherwise restricted attributes by leveraging the Maintainer role.
