Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Infinispan versions prior to 9.0.0

Description: The issue concerns the REST API in Infinispan, where auth constraints are not properly enforced. This allows an attacker to potentially read or modify data in the default cache or a known cache name.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 9.0.0, update to version 9.0.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the REST API to minimize the risk of exploitation.
