-----------------------------------
> Security Vulnerability in Portals Zones
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: JS2-1240
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-1240
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: David Sean Taylor
> Assignee: David Sean Taylor
>
> As reported by Apache Security Team:
> It has come to the attention of the ASF security team that the latest
> version of Jetspeed ships with a critical security vulnerability that
> permits a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
> The details of the vulnerability are as follows:
> - - Jetspeed 2.2.1 includes version 6.0.18 of Apache Tomcat
> - - Jetspeed 2.2.1 includes the Tomcat manager application
> - - The default tomcat-users.xml file has been modified to include an
> enabled administrative user with an insecure default password
> This means that a default installation of Jetspeed 2.2.1 is vulnerable
> to remote execution of arbitrary code via deployment of malicious web
> applications using Tomcat's Manager application. Remote execution of
> arbitrary code is a critical (the highest rating) security vulnerability.
> The Portals PMC should also be aware that Tomcat 6.0.18 is 2.5 years old
> and itself has a number of security vulnerabilities. [1]
