Keycloak-saml-core: improper verification of saml responses leading to privilege escalation in keycloak

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 80.6% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
Fixed version: github.com/keycloak/keycloak keycloak 25.0.5.
Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/keycloak/keycloak keycloak 25.0.5 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

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.
