CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA path traversal vulnerability in WildFly's domain mode allows remote attackers with access to the slave host controller secret to exploit the LocalFileRepository methods, potentially serving arbitrary files from the server's file system. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including configuration files and system credentials. Organizations using WildFly should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to mitigate the risk of data exposure.
Original NVD Description
A path traversal flaw was found in WildFly's domain mode implementation. The LocalFileRepository.getFile() and getConfigurationFile() methods in wildfly-core/deployment-repository do not validate that the resolved file path remains within the configured repository or configuration root directories. A remote attacker who has obtained the slave host controller secret or compromised a slave host controller can supply a crafted relative path containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../etc/passwd) via the slave-DC wire protocol, causing the Domain Controller to resolve and serve arbitrary files readable by the DC process. This leads to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as configuration files, keystores, and system credentials.
