AI-suggested
Users should upgrade Apache TomEE to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Until upgraded, users should avoid using the default configuration without defining users or change default credentials to prevent unauthorized access.
Description
Apache TomEE versions from 1.5.1 through 1.7.5, 7.0.0-M1 through before 10.0.0-M1, 10.0.0-M1 through before 10.3.0, and 11.0.0-M1 through before 11.0.0-M2 contain a vulnerability where the default configuration silently adds an administrative user with a well-known password if no users are defined. This allows remote attackers to authenticate using these default credentials and gain administrative access. The issue is fixed in versions 10.3.0 and 11.0.0-M2.
