Red Hat Keycloak

Keycloak: phishing attack via email verification step in first login flow

A flaw was found in keycloak before version 9.0.1. When configuring an Conditional OTP Authentication Flow as a post login flow of an IDP, the failure login events for OTP are not being sent to the brute force protection event queue. So BruteForceProtector does not handle this events.

A flaw was found in keycloak, where the default ECP binding flow allows other authentication flows to be bypassed. By exploiting this behavior, an attacker can bypass the MFA authentication by sending a SOAP request with an AuthnRequest and Authorization header with the user's credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

Keycloak: session takeover with oidc offline refreshtokens

A flaw was found in Keycloak 12.0.0 where re-authentication does not occur while updating the password. This flaw allows an attacker to take over an account if they can obtain temporary, physical access to a user’s browser. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

A flaw was found in keycloak in versions prior to 13.0.0. The client registration endpoint allows fetching information about PUBLIC clients (like client secret) without authentication which could be an issue if the same PUBLIC client changed to CONFIDENTIAL later. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

admin-cli before versions 3.0.0.alpha25, 2.2.1.cr2 is vulnerable to an EAP feature to download server log files that allows logs to be available via GET requests making them vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be impaired.

It was found that while parsing the SAML messages the StaxParserUtil class of keycloak before 2.5.1 replaces special strings for obtaining attribute values with system property. This could allow an attacker to determine values of system properties at the attacked system by formatting the SAML request ID field to be the chosen system property which could be obtained in the "InResponseTo" field in the response.

Red Hat Keycloak before version 2.4.0 did not correctly check permissions when handling service account user deletion requests sent to the rest server. An attacker with service account authentication could use this flaw to bypass normal permissions and delete users in a separate realm.

Due to improper authorization, Red Hat Single Sign-On is vulnerable to users performing actions that they should not be allowed to perform. It was possible to add users to the master realm even though no respective permission was granted.

Keycloak: potential bypass of brute force protection

A flaw was found in Keycloak. This flaw allows impersonation and lockout due to the email trust not being handled correctly in Keycloak. An attacker can shadow other users with the same email and lockout or impersonate them.

A flaw was found in Keycloak version 8.0.2 and 9.0.0, and was fixed in Keycloak version 9.0.1, where a malicious user registers as oneself. The attacker could then use the remove devices form to post different credential IDs and possibly remove MFA devices for other users.

A flaw was found in Keycloak. This flaw depends on a non-default configuration "Revalidate Client Certificate" to be enabled and the reverse proxy is not validating the certificate before Keycloak. Using this method an attacker may choose the certificate which will be validated by the server. If this happens and the KC_SPI_TRUSTSTORE_FILE_FILE variable is missing/misconfigured, any trustfile may be accepted with the logging information of "Cannot validate client certificate trust: Truststore not available". This may not impact availability as the attacker would have no access to the server, but consumer applications Integrity or Confidentiality may be impacted considering a possible access to them. Considering the environment is correctly set to use "Revalidate Client Certificate" this flaw is avoidable.

A vulnerability was found in keycloak before 6.0.2. The X.509 authenticator supports the verification of client certificates through the CRL, where the CRL list can be obtained from the URL provided in the certificate itself (CDP) or through the separately configured path. The CRL are often available over the network through unsecured protocols ('http' or 'ldap') and hence the caller should verify the signature and possibly the certification path. Keycloak currently doesn't validate signatures on CRL, which can result in a possibility of various attacks like man-in-the-middle.

A vulnerability was found in Keycloak before 9.0.2, where every Authorization URL that points to an IDP server lacks proper input validation as it allows a wide range of characters. This flaw allows a malicious to craft deep links that introduce further attack scenarios on affected clients.

Keycloak: xss on impersonation under specific circumstances

Apicast: use_3scale_oidc_issuer_endpoint of token introspection policy isn't compatible with rh-sso 7.5 or later versions

A POST based reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerability on has been identified in Keycloak.

Keycloak: open redirect via "form_post.jwt" jarm response mode

A flaw was found in JBOSS Keycloak 3.2.1.Final. The Redirect URL for both Login and Logout are not normalized in org.keycloak.protocol.oidc.utils.RedirectUtils before the redirect url is verified. This can lead to an Open Redirection attack

A flaw was found in Keycloak's data filter, in version 10.0.1, where it allowed the processing of data URLs in some circumstances. This flaw allows an attacker to conduct cross-site scripting or further attacks.

It was found in all keycloak versions before 9.0.0 that links to external applications (Application Links) in the admin console are not validated properly and could allow Stored XSS attacks. An authed malicious user could create URLs to trick users in other realms, and possibly conduct further attacks.

JBoss KeyCloak: Open redirect vulnerability via failure to validate the redirect URL.

Keycloak-core: open redirect on account page

The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com and (if CBC is used) the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms. This also affects Maverick Synergy Java SSH API before 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, Dropbear through 2022.83, Ssh before 5.1.1 in Erlang/OTP, PuTTY before 0.80, AsyncSSH before 2.14.2, golang.org/x/crypto before 0.17.0, libssh before 0.10.6, libssh2 through 1.11.0, Thorn Tech SFTP Gateway before 3.4.6, Tera Term before 5.1, Paramiko before 3.4.0, jsch before 0.2.15, SFTPGo before 2.5.6, Netgate pfSense Plus through 23.09.1, Netgate pfSense CE through 2.7.2, HPN-SSH through 18.2.0, ProFTPD before 1.3.8b (and before 1.3.9rc2), ORYX CycloneSSH before 2.3.4, NetSarang XShell 7 before Build 0144, CrushFTP before 10.6.0, ConnectBot SSH library before 2.2.22, Apache MINA sshd through 2.11.0, sshj through 0.37.0, TinySSH through 20230101, trilead-ssh2 6401, LANCOM LCOS and LANconfig, FileZilla before 3.66.4, Nova before 11.8, PKIX-SSH before 14.4, SecureCRT before 9.4.3, Transmit5 before 5.10.4, Win32-OpenSSH before 9.5.0.0p1-Beta, WinSCP before 6.2.2, Bitvise SSH Server before 9.32, Bitvise SSH Client before 9.33, KiTTY through 0.76.1.13, the net-ssh gem 7.2.0 for Ruby, the mscdex ssh2 module before 1.15.0 for Node.js, the thrussh library before 0.35.1 for Rust, and the Russh crate before 0.40.2 for Rust.

Red Hat Keycloak before version 2.5.1 has an implementation of HMAC verification for JWS tokens that uses a method that runs in non-constant time, potentially leaving the application vulnerable to timing attacks.

A flaw was found in Keycloak in versions before 10.0.0, where it does not perform the TLS hostname verification while sending emails using the SMTP server. This flaw allows an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

A vulnerability was found in all versions of Keycloak where, the pages on the Admin Console area of the application are completely missing general HTTP security headers in HTTP-responses. This does not directly lead to a security issue, yet it might aid attackers in their efforts to exploit other problems. The flaws unnecessarily make the servers more prone to Clickjacking, channel downgrade attacks and other similar client-based attack vectors.

Keycloak up to version 6.0.0 allows the end user token (access or id token JWT) to be used as the session cookie for browser sessions for OIDC. As a result an attacker with access to service provider backend could hijack user’s browser session.

A flaw was found in keycloak before version 13.0.0. In some scenarios a user still has access to a resource after changing the role mappings in Keycloak and after expiration of the previous access token.

A flaw was found in keycloak in versions before 9.0.0. A logged exception in the HttpMethod class may leak the password given as parameter. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

It was found that SAML authentication in Keycloak 3.4.3.Final incorrectly authenticated expired certificates. A malicious user could use this to access unauthorized data or possibly conduct further attacks.

It was found that Keycloak's Node.js adapter before version 4.8.3 did not properly verify the web token received from the server in its backchannel logout . An attacker with local access could use this to construct a malicious web token setting an NBF parameter that could prevent user access indefinitely.

A flaw was found in Keycloak. This flaw allows a privileged attacker to use the malicious payload as the group name while creating a new group from the admin console, leading to a stored Cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.

Keycloak: reflected xss via wildcard in oidc redirect_uri

A flaw was found in Keycloak 3.4.3.Final, 4.0.0.Beta2, 4.3.0.Final. When using 'response_mode=form_post' it is possible to inject arbitrary Javascript-Code via the 'state'-parameter in the authentication URL. This allows an XSS-Attack upon succesfully login.

A flaw was found in Keycloak in the execute-actions-email endpoint. This issue allows arbitrary HTML to be injected into emails sent to Keycloak users and can be misused to perform phishing or other attacks against users.

A flaw was found in keycloak affecting versions 11.0.3 and 12.0.0. An expired certificate would be accepted by the direct-grant authenticator because of missing time stamp validations. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.

A flaw was found in Keycloak before 13.0.0, where it is possible to force the server to call out an unverified URL using the OIDC parameter request_uri. This flaw allows an attacker to use this parameter to execute a Server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack.
