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.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly.core</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-server</artifactId>
<version>27.0.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly.core</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-server</artifactId>
<version>28.0.0.Beta2</version>
</dependency>
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.

"summary" : "WildFly improper RBAC permission",
"details" : "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.\n\n### Impact\nStandalone 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.\n\n### Patches\nFixed in [WildFly Core 27.0.1.Final](https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/releases/tag/27.0.1.Final)\n\n### Workarounds\nNo workaround available\n\n### References\nSee also: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-7153\n\n### Acknowledgements\nThe 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",
