What is CVE-2017-7465?
CVE-2017-7465 is a critical code injection vulnerability in Redhat Jboss Enterprise Application Platform, published on 27 Jun 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
It was found that the JAXP implementation used in JBoss EAP 7.0 for XSLT processing is vulnerable to code injection. An attacker could use this flaw to cause remote code execution if they are able to provide XSLT content for parsing. Doing a transform in JAXP requires the use of a 'javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory'. If the FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING feature is set to 'true', it mitigates this vulnerability.
