Keycloak: keycloak: user enumeration via differential error messages
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 14/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.36% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: org.keycloak:keycloak-services (Maven) 26.6.1, 26.4.12.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.keycloak:keycloak-services (Maven) 26.6.1, 26.4.12 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 was found in Keycloak. A remote attacker can exploit differential error messages during the identity-first login flow when Organizations are enabled. This vulnerability allows an attacker to determine the existence of users, leading to information disclosure through user enumeration.
