    Keycloak: Denial of Service via specially crafted SAML input

    CVE-2026-7307 · GHSA-p5mv-gj8j-xqgf

    Affected
    • Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-saml-core < 26.6.2
    Fixed in
    26.6.2· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    A flaw was found in Keycloak. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted XML input to the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) endpoint. This malicious input can cause high CPU usage and worker thread starvation, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) where the server becomes unavailable.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 26.6.2 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    Keycloak: Denial of Service due to excessive SAMLRequest decompression

    CVE-2026-2575 · GHSA-xv6h-r36f-3gp5

    Affected
    • Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-saml-core < 26.5.4
    Fixed in
    26.5.4· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    A flaw was found in Keycloak. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger an application level Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a highly compressed SAMLRequest through the SAML Redirect Binding. The server fails to enforce size limits during DEFLATE decompression, leading to an OutOfMemoryError (OOM) and subsequent process termination. This vulnerability allows an attacker to disrupt the availability of the service.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 26.5.4 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    Improper Verification of SAML Responses Leading to Privilege Escalation in Keycloak

    CVE-2024-8698 · GHSA-xgfv-xpx8-qhcr

    Affected
    • Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-saml-core <= 22.0.12; >= 23.0.0, <= 24.0.7; >= 25.0.0, <= 25.0.5
    Fixed in
    22.0.1325.0.624.0.8· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    A flaw exists in the SAML signature validation method within the Keycloak XMLSignatureUtil class. The method incorrectly determines whether a SAML signature is for the full document or only for specific assertions based on the position of the signature in the XML document, rather than the Reference element used to specify the signed element. This flaw allows attackers to create crafted responses that can bypass the validation, potentially leading to privilege escalation or impersonation attacks.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 25.0.6, 24.0.8 or 22.0.13 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    ECP SAML binding bypasses authentication flows

    CVE-2021-3827 · GHSA-4pc7-vqv5-5r3v

    Affected
    • Maven org.keycloak:keycloak-saml-core < 18.0.0
    Fixed in
    18.0.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    A flaw was found in keycloak, where the default ECP binding flow allows other authentication flows to be bypassed. By exploiting this behavior an attacker can bypass the MFA authentication by sending a SOAP request with an AuthnRequest and Authorization header with the user's credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 18.0.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
