Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
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.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in WildFly's domain mode LocalFileRepository exposes arbitrary files readable by the Domain Controller process to attackers who have already obtained or compromised a slave host controller. The flaw resides in the wildfly-core/deployment-repository component, where getFile() and getConfigurationFile() fail to canonicalize or bound-check caller-supplied paths before resolving them on disk, enabling directory traversal sequences to escape the configured repository root. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires all of the following conditions simultaneously: (1) WildFly or JBoss EAP must be deployed in domain mode - standalone mode deployments are not affected because the slave-DC wire protocol and LocalFileRepository are domain-mode-only components; (2) the attacker must have already obtained the slave host controller shared secret, OR must have achieved compromise of an existing slave host controller node; (3) the attacker must have network reachability to the Domain Controller's management interface. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the constrained exploitability of this vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained the WildFly slave host controller shared secret - either through credential theft, misconfiguration, or by compromising an existing slave HC - connects to the Domain Controller's management interface using the slave-DC wire protocol. The attacker then invokes a file retrieval operation with a crafted relative path such as '../../../../etc/shadow' or '../../../opt/wildfly/standalone/configuration/application-users.properties', causing the Domain Controller's JVM to resolve the path outside the repository root and transmit the file contents back to the attacker. … |
| Remediation | Consult the Red Hat security advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-17614 for the definitive patched release version, as exact fixed version numbers were not available in the input data at time of analysis - patch status should be treated as 'Patch available per vendor advisory' pending Red Hat's formal release notes. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
