EC2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 5.1.2 uses 755 permissions for /var/cache/jboss-ec2-eap/, which allows local users to read sensitive information such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials by reading files in the directory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects the EC2 AMI for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2. A directory was readable by local users, potentially exposing sensitive files including AWS credentials. The business risk is credential disclosure from legacy cloud images, not remote internet exploitation based on the provided evidence. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running EC2 instances derived from the JBoss EAP 5.1.2 EC2 AMI, especially where multiple local users or processes could access the filesystem. Prioritize as a legacy cloud credential exposure issue. It is not evidenced as actively exploited, but exposed AWS credentials can create broader cloud risk if affected systems still exist. Mitigation focus: Check Red Hat RHSA-2012:1376 and apply vendor guidance for the affected AMI.; Replace legacy JBoss EAP 5.1.2 EC2 AMI deployments where practical.; Restrict permissions on /var/cache/jboss-ec2-eap/ according to vendor guidance..
