The JBoss server must be configured to bind the management interfaces to only management networks.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>JBoss provides multiple interfaces for accessing the system. By default, these are called "public" and "management". Allowing non-management traffic to access the JBoss management interface increases the chances of a security compromise. The JBoss server must be configured to bind the management interface to a network that controls access. This is usually a network that has been designated as a management network and has restricted access. Similarly, the public interface must be bound to a network that is not on the same segment as the management interface.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
