    • Hide
      It was found that JBoss Seam 2 did not properly block access to JBoss
      Expression Language (EL) constructs in page exception handling, allowing
      arbitrary Java methods to be executed. A remote attacker could use this
      flaw to execute arbitrary code via a specially-crafted URL provided to
      certain applications based on the JBoss Seam 2 framework. Note: A properly
      configured and enabled Java Security Manager would prevent exploitation of
      this flaw. (CVE-2011-1484)
