CVE-2025-23367: Org.wildfly.core:wildfly-server: wildfly improper rbac permission

A flaw was found in the Wildfly Server Role Based Access Control (RBAC) provider. When authorization to control management operations is secured using the Role Based Access Control provider, a user without the required privileges can suspend or resume the server. A user with a Monitor or Auditor role is supposed to have only read access permissions and should not be able to suspend the server. The vulnerability is caused by the Suspend and Resume handlers not performing authorization checks to validate whether the current user has the required permissions to proceed with the action.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

An authenticated low-privilege WildFly management user may suspend or resume the server despite having a read-only Monitor or Auditor role. This can interrupt hosted applications and business services. The issue affects availability, not data confidentiality or integrity, according to the supplied CVSS assessment.

Executive priority

Schedule remediation promptly, prioritizing availability-critical application servers. Accelerate action where management interfaces are broadly reachable, credentials are shared, or Monitor and Auditor access is extensive. This is not presented as an unauthenticated takeover or data-theft issue.

Technical view

WildFly’s suspend and resume management handlers omit required authorization checks under the RBAC provider. A network-accessible user with limited management credentials can invoke availability-impacting operations without the intended permission. The supplied CVSS v3.1 score is 6.5: network reachable, low complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, and high availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure requires WildFly or JBoss EAP management access, RBAC authorization, and an authenticated low-privilege account. The bundle identifies affected package builds across EAP 7.4 and EAP 8.0 environments, but also contains product-level unaffected records. Confirm exposure against the applicable Red Hat advisory rather than relying only on product names.

Exploitation context

The flaw is remotely reachable through management operations but requires valid low-privilege credentials. Monitor or Auditor users are specifically relevant. The supplied record is not in KEV, and the sources provided do not establish active exploitation or a public working exploit.

Researcher notes

The affected-data mapping is internally complex: generic EAP 7 and EAP 8 entries are marked unaffected while specific builds and several seemingly unrelated package names are marked affected. The bundle also does not clarify the wildfly-core version-bound semantics. Use vendor advisories for authoritative package applicability and fixed-build determination.

Mitigation direction

  • Apply updates identified by the applicable Red Hat security advisory after compatibility testing.
  • Confirm exact affected builds and corrected packages using Red Hat guidance.
  • Restrict management interfaces to trusted administrative networks and authenticated operators.
  • Review Monitor and Auditor account necessity; remove unnecessary access pending remediation.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory WildFly and JBoss EAP versions, operating systems, and installed package builds.
  • Verify whether the RBAC provider protects management operations.
  • Identify accounts assigned Monitor, Auditor, or equivalent limited management roles.
  • Review management audit logs for unexpected suspend or resume activity.
  • Confirm installed updates against the applicable Red Hat errata.
