CVE-2026-17614 Details
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.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in WildFly's domain mode. The issue arises in the LocalFileRepository's file retrieval methods, which fail to properly validate that resolved file paths remain within designated repository or configuration root directories. This flaw allows a remote attacker, who has either compromised a slave host controller or obtained its secret, to send crafted relative paths with directory traversal sequences through the slave-DC wire protocol. As a result, the Domain Controller may inadvertently expose arbitrary files that are readable by its process, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information such as configuration files, keystores, and system credentials.
