Summary

Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.4 and 26.6 and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7 are affected. The SAML identity broker does not verify that a user holds the private key tied to a holder-of-key assertion, which is CWE-287 improper authentication. A remote attacker who intercepts a victim's signed assertion can replay it to impersonate the victim without the victim's private key, though the attack is hard to carry out.

Description from the CNA

A flaw was found in the SAML identity broker component of Keycloak, which is used to delegate authentication to external identity providers. The issue occurs because the broker fails to verify that a user actually possesses the private key associated with a holder-of-key assertion. An attacker who intercepts a victim signed assertion can replay it to gain unauthorized access and impersonate the victim without needing their private key.
