CVE-2023-0657

Access-token impersonation via unenforced token types

Published Nov 17, 2024 · Updated Nov 17, 2024

Improper access control in Keycloak before 22.0.10 and 23.0.0 through 24.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to obtain access tokens. The broker OIDC signature-validation path accepts a signed logout token without enforcing its token type, then exchanges it as an access credential. Exploitation requires an authenticated session, adjacent network access, and user interaction, and can expose or alter data beyond assigned permissions.
