How to fix
Block network access to Hessian endpoints from untrusted clients, or migrate to another remoting protocol.
Technical details
The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in Hessian remoting endpoints when BASIC authentication is configured; the authentication check is not enforced on Hessian endpoints of applications deployed under a non-root context path. An unauthenticated remote attacker can invoke exposed EJB methods without valid credentials through direct access to the unprotected endpoint. A fix is available per the advisory recommendation to migrate to another remoting protocol.
