Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

CVE-2026-9087

Severity High
Score 8.1/10

Summary

A flaw was found in Keycloak versions 26.3.0 and after. The cross-session verification proof is keyed only by (local userId, idpAlias) and is not bound to the upstream identity that was actually verified, so a second upstream account on the same IdP can consume it and get linked to the victim's local account.
