CVE-2005-4709: The popSubjectContext method in the SecurityAssociation class in JBoss Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) 3.0 RC3...

The popSubjectContext method in the SecurityAssociation class in JBoss Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) 3.0 RC3 maintains the threadPrincipal and threadCredential values from a previous client's authentication after termination of a client session, which allows remote attackers to gain the roles of an arbitrary previous client who had the same JBoss server thread.

Security readout for executives and security teams

An old JBoss EJB 3.0 RC3 security context bug could let one client inherit another client's roles when server thread reuse leaves prior authentication data behind. Authorization may then run as the wrong user. The bundle provides no severity score, CPEs, fixed version, or active exploitation evidence. Exposure appears limited to environments running JBoss Enterprise Java Beans 3.0 RC3 or code derived from that SecurityAssociation behavior. The source bundle lists no formal affected vendor/product/CPE data, so inventory confirmation is required. Treat as an inventory-driven legacy risk. It is potentially serious where present because it can cross user privilege boundaries, but urgency depends on whether this obsolete release-candidate software exists in production. Mitigation focus: Inventory for JBoss EJB 3.0 RC3 or inherited EJB3 RC components.; Review JBoss issue EJBTHREE-384 and vendor guidance for fixed builds.; Retire or isolate unsupported pre-release JBoss components where found..
