Summary
A flaw was found in the first-broker-login flow of the keycloak-services component. This component handles the initial authentication and account linking when a user logs in via an external identity provider. The issue allows an attacker to register a matching username on an external provider to trigger a collision in Keycloak, which results in the legitimate user being locked out of their account.
