CVE-2012-1100
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedRed Hat JBoss Operations Network (JON) 3.0.x before 3.0.1, 2.4.2, and earlier, when LDAP authentication is enabled and the LDAP bind account credentials are invalid, allows remote attackers to login to LDAP-based accounts via an arbitrary password in a login request.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceJBoss Operations Network has an authentication bypass vulnerability where LDAP authentication is enabled with invalid LDAP bind account credentials, allowing remote attackers to log in to LDAP-based accounts using any password.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed JBoss Operations Network versionLocate the JBoss ON installation and determine the version number (typically found in product metadata, about dialog, or version file within the installation directory)Affected if The installed version is 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0, 2.2, 2.3, 2.3.1, 2.4, 2.4.1, or 3.0 (versions <= 2.4.1 and = 3.0 are vulnerable)
-
Verify LDAP authentication is enabledInspect the JBoss ON server configuration files or management console to determine whether LDAP-based authentication is configured and active for user loginsAffected if LDAP authentication is enabled in the JBoss ON environment
-
Inspect LDAP bind account credentialsReview the LDAP integration settings in the JBoss ON configuration (typically in the server's authentication/ldap configuration file or management interface) to locate the configured bind account username and passwordAffected if An LDAP bind account is configured with credentials present in the configuration
-
Test LDAP bind credential validityAttempt to authenticate to the LDAP directory using the configured bind account credentials, or verify connectivity by checking LDAP bind results in server logsAffected if The LDAP bind fails or the credentials are invalid/malformed, indicating the vulnerable configuration state
You are affected if your JBoss Operations Network version is 2.0.0 through 2.4.1 or 3.0, LDAP authentication is enabled, and the configured LDAP bind account credentials are invalid or misconfigured.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataEnsure valid LDAP bind account credentials are configured and upgrade to JBoss ON 3.0.1 or 2.4.2 or later where the vulnerability is patched.
