    Red Hat JBoss Authentication Bypass Vulnerability — The JMX-Console web application in JBossAs in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform performs access control only for the GET and POST methods, which allows remote attackers to send requests to this application's GET handler by using a different method. Listed in the CISA KEV catalog (added 2022-05-25) — confirmed exploited in the wild, not theoretical. It is linked to known ransomware campaigns. FIRST EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at ~74%. Treat it as real and prioritize remediation over triage.
