The embedded OpenEJB HTTP server reports every request as authenticated when an application requests authentication programmatically. A remote unauthenticated attacker can access functionality protected this way. Only applications served by the embedded HTTP server that rely on programmatic authentication are affected. Users are recommended to block network access to the embedded HTTP server from untrusted clients, or to migrate to the Tomcat based TomEE distributions.
