The default configuration of JBoss does not restrict access to the console and
web management interfaces, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrative access
via direct requests.

installer, the raw JBoss services will be in a completely unconfigured state and these steps should be performed
manually. See the referenced advisories for mitigation steps.");
