Description
A flaw was found in the deployment-operation family of WildFly Core. Certain handlers, such as upload-deployment-url, lack proper sensitivity classification, allowing an administrator with the restricted "Maintainer" role to read sensitive configuration files. This can lead to the exfiltration of credentials and full administrative control (SuperUser) of the server.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Remediation status
The records we use list no fixed release for CVE-2026-12977. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
