Upgrade org.keycloak:keycloak-services to this version or later

Description

Keycloak's OpenID Connect user authentication was found to incorrectly authenticate requests. An authenticated attacker who could also obtain a certain piece of info from a user request, from a victim within the same realm, could use that data to impersonate the victim and generate new session tokens.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness

CWE-287: Improper Authentication

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design: Use an authentication framework or library such as the OWASP ESAPI Authentication feature.

CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.
