Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Keycloak on Red Hat (affected version unknown) and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown functionality of the component Access Token Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a external control of assumed-immutable web parameter vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-472.

Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A flaw was found in Keycloak. A low-privilege user, with knowledge of user credentials and client ID, can bypass a security control intended to disable the implicit flow in OpenID Connect (OIDC) clients. By manipulating client data during a session restart, an attacker can obtain an access token that should not be available. This vulnerability can also lead to the exposure of these access tokens in server logs, proxy logs, and HTTP Referrer headers, resulting in sensitive information disclosure.
