No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2012-3428 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2012-3428?

CVE-2012-3428 affects the following packages: org.jboss.ironjacamar:ironjacamar-jdbc (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2012-3428?

Update org.jboss.ironjacamar:ironjacamar-jdbc to 1.0.12.Final or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2012-3428 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2012-3428 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jboss.ironjacamar:ironjacamar-jdbc, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2012-3428 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2012-3428?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2012-3428 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2012-3428 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2012-3428 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2012-3428?

CVE-2012-3428 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.4%, placing it in the 71th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2012-3428?

Description

The IronJacamar container before 1.0.12.Final for JBoss Application Server, when allow-multiple-users is enabled in conjunction with a security domain, does not use the credentials supplied in a getConnection function call, which allows remote attackers to obtain access to an arbitrary datasource connection in opportunistic circumstances via an invalid connection attempt.
