Red Hat Red Hat Build of Keycloak — Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: saml redirect binding signature bypass via percent-encoded parameter names

Description · from the CVE record

A flaw was found in the SAML HTTP-Redirect binding implementation of Keycloak. The issue occurs because the server processes percent-encoded parameter names (like %53AMLResponse) while the signature verification logic only checks literal parameter names. An attacker can use this discrepancy to provide a crafted, unsigned SAML message that the server processes instead of a legitimately signed one, leading to full account takeover of federated users.
