What this means
A flaw in Keycloak's SAML identity broker component fails to verify a user's private key associated with a holder-of-key assertion, allowing an attacker to replay a signed assertion and gain unauthorized access. The issue affects Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.4 and 26.6. An attacker needs to intercept a victim's signed assertion to exploit this vulnerability.

--- CME Mitigation Guidance (2026-11-06) --- Disclaimer: The following mitigation solutions are provided as a courtesy, pending the application of an official patch. 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.
The highest-value action is to enforce proof of possession for bound keys in SAML identity broker subject-confirmation validation: upgrade to Keycloak 26.4.17 / 26.6.8 (or the corresponding fixed Red Hat builds), which enforce proof of possession for the bound key or reject assertions that contain only unvalidated holder-of-key confirmations, closing replaying intercepted SAML holder-of-key assertions. Until patched, this is a concern on Keycloak deployments configured as a SAML identity broker trusting upstream providers that issue holder-of-key assertions, so restrict and audit trusted upstream SAML identity providers issuing holder-of-key assertions to prevent interception and unauthorized replay of signed assertions. As a compensating measure, enforce mandatory secondary authentication factor in Keycloak post-federation to block login completion on replayed assertions. These controls limit blast radius and contain exploitation, but they do not fix the underlying missing proof-of-possession verification flaw — apply the upstream patch to fully remediate.

Original source description
Read the full publisher description
A flaw was found in the SAML identity broker component of Keycloak, which is used to delegate authentication to external identity providers. The issue occurs because the broker fails to verify that a user actually possesses the private key associated with a holder-of-key assertion. An attacker who intercepts a victim signed assertion can replay it to gain unauthorized access and impersonate the victim without needing their private key.
