CVE-2004-0470
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 7.0 through SP5 and 8.1 through SP2, when editing weblogic.xml using WebLogic Builder or the SecurityRoleAssignmentMBean.toXML method, inadvertently removes security-role-assignment tags when weblogic.xml does not have a principal-name tag, which can remove intended access restrictions for the associated web application.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.69%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 85
- Score date: 10/8/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
