JBoss process owner interactive access must be restricted.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>JBoss does not require admin rights to operate and should be run as a regular user. In addition, if the user account was to be compromised and the account was allowed interactive logon rights, this would increase the risk and attack surface against the JBoss system. The right to interactively log on to the system using the JBoss account should be limited according to the OS capabilities.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
