CVE-2019-14843Network attack vector

Protected information access via unconditional requester authorization

Published Jan 7, 2020 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Authorization bypass in Red Hat WildFly Security Manager on JDK 8 or 11 allows remote authenticated users to access protected information. The vendor has not disclosed the responsible request-handling locus; published records state only that it authorizes requests for every requester. Exploitation requires a malicious application deployed on the application server and can expose information or enable further attacks.
