Title
Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: saml redirect binding signature bypass via percent-encoded parameter names
Summary
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.

This content was generated utilizing AI tools in conjunction with data from https://cmetaxonomy.org. Customers are advised to independently evaluate and test these temporary mitigations within their own infrastructure.\n\nThe highest-value action is to align query parameter parsing between signature verification and request processing in Keycloak\u0027s SAML HTTP-Redirect binding so percent-encoded parameter names cannot evade signature checks: upgrade to the fixed Rhbk/Keycloak Rhel/Keycloak Services builds, which eliminates the parsing discrepancy between raw query parameter signature verification and decoded parameter processing in the SAML redirect binding, closing crafted HTTP GET request containing a percent-encoded unsigned SAML parameter placed before a legitimately signed parameter. Until patched, this is a concern on Keycloak instances configured to use SAML HTTP-Redirect binding for federated identity, so Audit and restrict account registration on external Identity Providers to prevent attackers from capturing legitimately signed redirect-binding messages. These controls limit blast radius and contain exploitation, but they do not fix the underlying SAML parameter parsing discrepancy signature bypass \u2014 apply the upstream patch to fully remediate."
