Red Hat currently does not provide an official fix or mitigation that meets their criteria for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the Red Hat advisory for updates. Since the vulnerability requires existing Maintainer role privileges, restricting access to this role and monitoring administrative accounts is advisable until a fix is available.
Description
CVE-2026-12977 is a vulnerability in Red Hat Fuse 7 involving the WildFly Core deployment-operation handlers. The flaw allows an administrator with the restricted "Maintainer" role to bypass role-based access control (RBAC) and read sensitive configuration files. This can lead to credential exfiltration and full administrative (SuperUser) control of the server, enabling actions such as deploying malicious code or altering audit logs. No official fix or mitigation meeting Red Hat's criteria is currently available.
