JBoss QuickStarts must be removed.
JBoss QuickStarts are demo applications that can be deployed quickly. Demo applications are not written with security in mind and often open new attack vectors. QuickStarts must be removed.Rule Medium Severity -

The JBoss Server must be configured to use certificates to authenticate admins.
Multifactor authentication creates a layered defense and makes it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access the application server. If one factor is compromised or broken, the attacker s...Rule Medium Severity -

JBoss management Interfaces must be integrated with a centralized authentication mechanism that is configured to manage accounts according to DoD policy.
JBoss EAP provides a security realm called ManagementRealm. By default, this realm uses the mgmt-users.properties file for authentication. Using file-based authentication does not allow the JBoss...Rule Medium Severity -
