Hi guys.

I am an IT Security analyst in Canberra, Australia.

I recently encountered an issue with jboss, which led me to do some Google
enumeration...

http://www.google.com.au/search?q=inurl:inspectMBean

The search will pull up around 41500 results. Click on any of the links
and you will gain access to the backend app (ie start/stop services,
modify data,etc). I do not know if this will work in all cases, however I
would recommend a good deal of caution if you do follow any of the links.

Please let me know if you need any further info - I have nfi who to
actually contact as auscert has no vulnerability reporting option and this
is a first for me...


Regards,
Ben Dexter.
