Technical Analysis
Several Red Hat JBoss products (JBoss Middleware Suite) widely used in enterprise environments were found to be vulnerable to a Java object serialization flaw. Exploit code is publicly available and PoC exploits are easy to develop, which allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected servers with the permissions of the JBoss application.
The vulnerability resides in Apache Commons Collections library which allows deserialization of untrusted user input in JBoss and many other software products (for more information: https://foxglovesecurity.com/2015/11/06/what-do-weblogic-websphere-jboss-jenkins-opennms-and-your-application-have-in-common-this-vulnerability/),
Technical Analysis
This de-serialization exploit can be performed without authentication in many instances. Because it leads to a reverse shell, this is incredibly valuable to an attacker.
There are many tools that will perform this exploit but my favorite is: https://github.com/joaomatosf/jexboss
Due to many legacy applications being internet facing with these vulnerabilities still present, this is an extremely valuable tool for an attacker to have in their arsenal.
