CVE-2010-0738 Red Hat CVE debrief

Who should care

Administrators and security teams responsible for Red Hat JBoss deployments should treat this as a priority remediation item. Vulnerability management, patch management, and incident response teams should also track it because CISA lists it in KEV and marks it as known exploited.

Technical summary

The supplied source corpus identifies CVE-2010-0738 as a Red Hat JBoss authentication bypass vulnerability. CISA’s KEV metadata records it as known exploited, with known ransomware campaign use marked "Known." The corpus does not provide exploit mechanics, affected versions, or configuration details; the only explicit remediation guidance is to apply updates per vendor instructions.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

• Apply updates per vendor instructions.
• Inventory Red Hat JBoss instances and confirm whether any are exposed or still unpatched.
• Prioritize remediation using the CISA KEV listing as a high-urgency signal.
• Verify that remediation is complete after updating and retain evidence of patch status.

Evidence notes

All claims are limited to the supplied CISA KEV source item and the official CVE/CISA/NVD links. The corpus explicitly provides the vulnerability name, KEV status, date added, due date, and known ransomware campaign use. It does not include version ranges, exploit details, or a CVSS score, so those are not inferred here.
