CVE-2013-0314
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 · uneditedThe GateIn Portal export/import gadget in JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.2.2 does not properly check authentication when importing Zip files, which allows remote attackers to modify site contents, remove the site, or alter the access controls for portlets.
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 confidenceThis is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the GateIn Portal's export/import gadget in JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.2.2. The gadget fails to properly validate authentication credentials before processing imported ZIP files, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to leverage the import functionality to modify portal site contents, remove entire sites, or alter portlet access controls.

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 JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform installationLocate the JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform installation directory and check the version file, typically found in the server's documentation or version manifestAffected if The installed version is exactly 5.2.2 (the only affected version per this CVE)
-
Verify GateIn Portal component presenceConfirm the GateIn Portal web application is deployed in the JBoss instance, typically under the deploy directory or as a war file named gatein-portal or similarAffected if GateIn Portal is deployed and the version matches the affected platform version
-
Check gadget import functionality accessibilityInspect the web application's configuration for the export/import gadget endpoint, typically accessible via the portal's administrative interface or REST endpoints related to gadget importsAffected if The gadget import functionality is enabled and accessible without authentication
-
Examine portal configuration for import restrictionsReview the portal's XML configuration files or web.xml to determine if authentication requirements are properly enforced on import operationsAffected if Import operations can be processed without valid authentication credentials being validated
A user is affected if JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform version 5.2.2 is installed with the GateIn Portal gadget import functionality enabled and accessible without authentication validation.

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 dataUpgrade to a patched version of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform that addresses this authentication bypass. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, disable or restrict the gadget import functionality at the application or network level until the patch can be applied.
