Description
A flaw was found in wildfly-core. A remote attacker, authenticated as a 'deployer' account, can import and deploy a malicious archive file from an untrusted source. This is achieved by leveraging WildFly libraries to craft a Java project that allows an HTTP POST request to upload and deploy the malicious archive. This could lead to further exploitation, such as arbitrary file read vulnerabilities.

Impact

A flaw in WildFly core permits a remote attacker authenticated as a user with the "deployer" role to upload and deploy a malicious archive file through an HTTP POST request. The vulnerability arises from how WildFly processes the archive, allowing the attacker to place arbitrary files on the server. Successful exploitation can enable reading of system files and other sensitive data, thereby compromising confidentiality and potentially the integrity of the application configuration.

Affected Systems

Red Hat Fuse 7, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack, Red Hat Process Automation 7, and Red Hat Single Sign‑On 7 are affected. Version details are not specified, but any current release of these products is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to possess deployer credentials and to target WildFly over a network where the management interfaces are reachable. Once the malicious archive is deployed, the attacker can read arbitrary files and may leverage the access for further attacks. The mitigation strategy involves limiting the scope and permissions of the deployer role, restricting management interface exposure, and applying vendor patches when they become available.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this vulnerability, restrict access to the 'deployer' account to only authorized and trusted administrators. Implement strong authentication policies for this account and consider limiting its permissions to prevent the deployment of untrusted applications. Ensure that the WildFly management interfaces are not exposed to untrusted networks and that only verified and signed applications are permitted for deployment. If the 'deployer' role is not strictly necessary, consider disabling or removing it. Changes to WildFly configuration may require a service restart to take effect.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict the "deployer" account to only trusted administrators and enforce strong authentication policies for that account.
  • Disable or limit the exposure of WildFly management interfaces to untrusted networks, ensuring that only verified and signed applications are allowed for deployment.
  • Upgrade WildFly or the affected Red Hat products to the latest patched version once the vendor releases an update that resolves the upload flaw.
