User enumeration via differential login errors
Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Mar 23, 2026
Information disclosure in Red Hat build of Keycloak allows remote attackers to enumerate users through identity-first login errors. AbstractUsernameFormAuthenticator.getDefaultChallengeMessage returns a password-only error after resolving a username, distinguishing existing accounts from invalid usernames. Exploitation requires Organizations and the identity-first login flow to be enabled; the flaw reveals account existence but does not alter data or service availability.
