Description Ted Jongseok Won 2020-06-18 13:50:18 UTC 
A flaw was found in the JBoss EAP, where the authentication configuration is set up using a legacy SecurityRealm to delegate to a legacy PicketBox SecurityDomain and then reloaded to admin-only mode. This flaw allows a complete authentication bypass by using arbitrary user and password. This is only applicable when going from a running server to admin-only mode.
