Description Martin Prpič 2015-10-19 12:55:15 UTC

It was found that JBoss EAP did not properly authorize a user performing a shut down. An user with the role Monitor, Deployer, or Auditor could use this flaw to shut down the EAP server, which is an action restricted to admin users.

The following commits introduced this issue:

https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/commit/6e5611b4c6
https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-eap/commit/a905e9a041

The context.getServiceRegistry call, which throws an exception when authorization fails, was replaced with a call to context.authorize, which only returns an authorization result.
