RESOLUTION
Until updates are available the following manual procedure will resolve
the vulnerability.

jboss-service.xml file in the following directory:

For Windows platform - INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY\JBossandJetty\server\appiq\deploy\management\console-mgr.sar\META-INF
For other platforms - INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/JBossandJetty/server/appiq/deploy/management/console-mgr.sar/META-INF

where the HP Storage Essentials management server software is installed in
the INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY.

2. Locate the following block of code:

mbean code="org.jboss.console.manager.DeploymentFileRepository"
name="jboss.admin:service=DeploymentFileRepository">
<attribute name="BaseDir">./deploy/management</attribute>
</mbean

3. Place comments around the block of code. This will disable the MBean.
