Description
A flaw was found in the Pushed Authorization Request PAR implementation of the keycloak-services component. The issue occurs when an authentication flow is restarted, which incorrectly clears the internal markers used to track PAR consumption while leaving the request active. This allows an attacker to reuse the same authorization request to obtain multiple access tokens, bypassing security requirements for single-use requests.

Impact: Token reuse via single-use authorization request bypass
Action: Patch promptly
AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the Pushed Authorization Request implementation within keycloak-services permits an attacker to trigger a flow restart that mistakenly resets the internal flags that mark a request as consumed while leaving the request authenticated. The result is that the same authorization request can be replayed to obtain multiple access tokens, violating the expected single-use behavior and potentially granting repeated or broadened access to protected resources. This weakness is classified as CWE-670.

Affected Systems

Red Hat Build of Keycloak and Red Hat Single Sign-On 7 are affected. No specific version information was supplied, so any deployed instance of these products with the impacted keycloak-services component is potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting no widespread exploitation has been observed or reported. However, the exploitation requires an attacker to obtain an initial authorization request and then trigger a flow restart, which can likely be performed over the network through normal authentication flows. Once triggered, the attacker can repeatedly acquire access tokens without re-authenticating, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of the protected resources authorized by the original request.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Red Hat patch or update for the keycloak-services component to fix the flaw.
  • No effective workaround is available; consider temporarily isolating the affected flow or restricting its use until a patch is released.
  • Monitor for updates and review flow configurations to prevent repeated token issuance.
