Summary

The Teiid Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) socket, as used in JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform before 5.3.0, does not encrypt login messages by default contrary to documentation and specification, which allows remote attackers to obtain login credentials via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
