Session takeover via retained authentication session identifier
Published Oct 28, 2025 · Updated Oct 28, 2025
Session fixation in Red Hat build of Keycloak allows local users sharing a browser to receive another user's session tokens. The OIDC LogoutEndpoint processes an id_token_hint without a session cookie by deleting the user session but leaving its authentication session alive for 60 seconds under the same identifier. A subsequent login from the same device and browser can reuse that identifier and obtain the previous user's tokens; this requires an authenticated user and user interaction.
