How to Fix CVE-2025-23367

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Wildfly server dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.wildfly.core:wildfly-server fixed: 27.0.1.Final
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.wildfly.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>wildfly-server</artifactId>
    <version>27.0.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
org.wildfly.core:wildfly-server fixed: 28.0.0.Beta2
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.wildfly.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>wildfly-server</artifactId>
    <version>28.0.0.Beta2</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wildfly.core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-23367, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wildfly.core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Wildfly server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 27.0.1.Final), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wildfly.core command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-284: Improper Access Control, where the product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. In Wildfly server, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

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. ### Impact Standalone server (Domain mode is not affected) with use access control enabled with RBAC provider can be suspended or resumed by unauthorized users. When a server is suspended, the server will stop receiving user requests. The resume handle does the opposite; it will cause a suspended server to start accepting user requests. ### Patches Fixed in [WildFly Core 27.0.1.Final](https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/releases/tag/27.0.1.Final) ### Workarounds No workaround available ### References See also: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-7153 ### Acknowledgements The WildFly project would like to thank Claudia Bartolini (TIM S.p.A), Marco Ventura (TIM S.p.A), and Massimiliano Brolli (TIM S.p.A) for reporting this issue. https://www.gruppotim.it/it/footer/red-team.html
