A flaw was found in Wildfly from version 11. The ElytronManagedThread in Elytron subsystem stores a SecurityIdentity to run the thread as. These threads do not necessarily terminate if the keep alive time has not expired. This could cause a shared thread to use the wrong security identity when executing.
