CVE-2025-23368

Wildfly Elytron integration susceptible to brute force attacks via CLI

Impact

### Impact A flaw was found in Wildfly Elytron integration. The component does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks via CLI. ### Patches The default behaviour has been changed in WildFly Core 31.0.3.Final, and 32.0.0.Beta3 - the first version is used by WildFly 39.0.1.Final and the second will be included in WildFly 40. ### Workarounds No direct workaround. Monitoring network traffic / blocking suspicious traffic may help. ### References https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-23368 https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-7192 ### Acknowledgements We would like to thank Claudia Bartolini (TIM S.p.A), Marco Ventura (TIM S.p.A), and Massimiliano Brolli (TIM S.p.A) for reporting this issue.
