2. Description:

The Enterprise Web Platform is a slimmed down profile of the JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform intended for mid-size workloads with light

The GUI installer created a world-readable auto-install XML file containing
both the JBoss Enterprise Web Platform administrator password and the
sucker password for the selected messaging system in plain text. A local
user able to access the directory where the GUI installer for JBoss
Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 was run could use this flaw to gain
administrative access to the JBoss Enterprise Web Platform instance.
