A vulnerability in Brocade Network Advisor Versions before 14.3.1 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to log in to the JBoss Administration interface of an affected system using an undocumented user credentials and install additional JEE applications. A remote unauthenticated user who has access to Network Advisor client libraries and able to decrypt the Jboss credentials could gain access to the Jboss web console.
