Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Keycloak's SAML broker endpoint does not properly validate encrypted assertions when the overall SAML response is not signed. An attacker with a valid signed SAML assertion can exploit this by crafting a malicious SAML response, injecting an encrypted assertion for an arbitrary principal, leading to unauthorized access and potential information disclosure.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-2092 Advisory: Keycloak: Unauthorized access via improper validation of encrypted SAML assertions IDs: CVE-2026-2092, GHSA-794g-x443-36f7 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-2092 (revision 3, source checked 27 Oct 2026, 06:25 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.7) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: org.keycloak:keycloak-services 26.5.5. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services: affected <= 26.2.5; >= 26.3.0, <= 26.4.7; >= 26.5.0, < 26.5.5; fixed in 26.5.5 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on org.keycloak:keycloak-services. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-794g-x443-36f7 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-794g-x443-36f7 lists affected ranges: Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services >=0 =26.3.0 =26.5.0 <26.5.5) - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-794g-x443-36f7 (OSV record GHSA-794g-x443-36f7 lists affected ranges: Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services >=0 =26.3.0 =26.5.0 <26.5.5 (fixed)) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
