WFLYSEC0012 Error in web.xml with similar Patterns -------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-13044 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-13044 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Web (Undertow) Affects Versions: 18.0.0.Final, 18.0.1.Final, 19.0.0.Beta1 Reporter: Franco Gimenez Assignee: Flavia Rainone Priority: Major Attachments: app.zip, image-2020-01-31-10-28-27-872.png, server.log.zip, web.xml.zip There are a problem while two constraints are limiting the access to the same resource with extensión patterns and exact pattern. In our web.xml we have two constraints. One limiting the access to all resources and other allowing access to certain files. This is the web.xml to test the error: !image-2020-01-31-10-28-27-872.png|thumbnail! The problem happens when the "*\**.htm" is evaluated inside of the jboss-jacc-api_1.5 lib. It tries to match "/index.html" against "*\**.htm" pattern, when the *"implies"* function returns false, it throws the exception. The log is: {code:java} 2020-01-30 18:44:38,293 INFO [org.wildfly.extension.undertow] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 77) WFLYUT0021: Registered web context: '/issue-reproducer-1.0.0.Final-SNAPSHOT' for server 'default-server' 2020-01-30 18:44:38,302 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-2) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."issue-reproducer-1.0.0.Final-SNAPSHOT.war".jboss.security.jacc: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."issue-reproducer-1.0.0.Final-SNAPSHOT.war".jboss.security.jacc: WFLYSEC0012: Unable to start the JaccService service at org.jboss.as.security.service.JaccService.start(JaccService.java:107) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1739) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.execute(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1701) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$ControllerTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1559) at org.jboss.threads.ContextClassLoaderSavingRunnable.run(ContextClassLoaderSavingRunnable.java:35) at org.jboss.threads.EnhancedQueueExecutor.safeRun(EnhancedQueueExecutor.java:1982) at org.jboss.threads.EnhancedQueueExecutor$ThreadBody.doRunTask(EnhancedQueueExecutor.java:1486) at org.jboss.threads.EnhancedQueueExecutor$ThreadBody.run(EnhancedQueueExecutor.java:1377) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid exact pattern in URLPatternList at javax.security.jacc.URLPatternSpec.setURLPatternArray(URLPatternSpec.java:314) at javax.security.jacc.URLPatternSpec.<init>(URLPatternSpec.java:79) at javax.security.jacc.WebResourcePermission.<init>(WebResourcePermission.java:160) at org.wildfly.extension.undertow.security.jacc.WarJACCService.createPermissions(WarJACCService.java:287) at org.wildfly.extension.undertow.security.jacc.WarJACCService.createPermissions(WarJACCService.java:64) at org.jboss.as.security.service.JaccService.start(JaccService.java:86) ... 8 more {code} I add a test project and the complete log in my environment.
