Description
JBoss RichFaces before 4.5.4 allows remote attackers to inject expression language (EL) expressions and execute arbitrary Java code via the do parameter.
Exploited in the wild (ENISA)
Only ENISA's EU KEV lists it. Across the site, “known exploited” (the KEV badge, the filter, the feeds and exports) means CISA's KEV, so it does not count as one there.
ENISA's EU Vulnerability Database lists it as exploited, from ENISA's EU KEV, since 25 Oct 2026.
