Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 22 Oct 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released official security updates in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4.23 for both RHEL 7 and RHEL 8 that address CVE-2024-10234. Users should apply these updates following Red Hat's guidance, ensuring all previously released errata are applied and backing up existing installations before updating. The vendor manages remediation through these official patches. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the provided updates.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Wildfly, where a user may perform Cross-site scripting in the Wildfly deployment system. This flaw allows an attacker or insider to execute a deployment with a malicious payload, which could trigger undesired behavior against the server.

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker or insider with deployment privileges to execute cross-site scripting attacks via malicious deployment payloads, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of the affected system. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, and user interaction needed. There is no impact on availability. No active exploitation has been reported.

Summary

CVE-2024-10234 is an improper neutralization of input during web page generation vulnerability (cross-site scripting) in the Wildfly deployment system used by Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4. The vulnerability allows a user with deployment permissions to inject malicious scripts via deployment payloads, which can lead to execution of unintended actions on the server. The vulnerability affects version 35.0.0 of Wildfly as used in JBoss EAP 7.4. Red Hat has issued security advisories (RHSA-2025:10924 and RHSA-2025:10925) providing patches in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4.23 for RHEL 7 and RHEL 8. The advisories classify the update as important and provide detailed instructions for applying the fixes. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.
