Description David Jorm 2011-11-29 05:37:47 UTC

Mojarra 2 will re-evaluate param/model values as EL expressions when includeViewParameters is set to true. This flaw allows an attacker to inject EL expressions.

Comment 1 David Jorm 2011-11-29 23:39:01 UTC

Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue affects the Mojarra 2 package, which is not
shipped with any Red Hat products.

Comment 2 Jason Shepherd 2018-02-15 06:26:09 UTC

I tested Wildfly Swarm (7.0.0.redhat-8) using the testcase from upstream and found it's not affected.
