AI-suggested

Users should upgrade to Apache TomEE versions 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2 where this issue is fixed. Alternatively, applications can mitigate the risk by enforcing security constraints in web.xml or applying EJB method permissions to protect the endpoints. No other vendor advisories indicate that no action is required.

Description

Apache TomEE versions from 1.5.0 through 4.0.0 and certain milestone releases up to 10.3.0 and 11.0.0-M2 have a missing authentication enforcement issue for EJB JAX-WS endpoints when published within existing web applications. This allows remote unauthenticated attackers to invoke web service operations unless additional application-level security constraints are applied. The issue is fixed in versions 10.3.0 and 11.0.0-M2.
