2. Description:

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is a platform for Java applications,
which integrates the JBoss Application Server with JBoss Hibernate and
JBoss Seam.

The GUI installer created a world-readable auto-install XML file containing
both the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform administrator password and
the sucker password for the selected messaging system in plain text. A
local user able to access the directory where the GUI installer for JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 was run could use this flaw to gain
administrative access to the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
instance. (CVE-2013-0218)

version 5.2.0. Users continuing to use the 5.1.2 installer will remain
