Hide Forgot
Jason Greene from Red Hat reported that a CSRF vulnerability was introduced with this change: https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/pull/5904 and backported here: https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-eap/pull/932 Affected Versions include: EAP 6.3.x EAP 6.4.x WildFly 8.1.0 WildFly 8.2.0 WildFly 9.0.x Known Affected Browsers: Internet Explorer (all supported versions) FireFox (all supported versions) The change introduces the ability to upload a file as part of executing a management operation. Since the format used is equivalent to a standard multipart/form-data submission, it can therefore be easily forged using an HTML page and a hidden form value, since such pages are not enforced under the same-origin-policy. While the EAP/WildFly versions affected enforce Origin headers, which would mitigate this attack, only WebKit derived browsers (Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc) send them. The net result is that this vulnerability, when combined with a forgery attack would allow an attacker to make arbitrary changes to the EAP/WildFly instance that the administrator is currently authenticated against, including (but not limited to) altering security policies and network configuration of the instance (assuming that the administrator had such permissions).
