CVE-2026-103112: Keycloak authentication session handling race condition

CVE-2026-103112 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-11-05

Keycloak is an identity and access management system that handles user authentication and authorization for enterprise applications. A flaw in how Keycloak manages authentication sessions allows an authenticated attacker to exploit a race condition during credential reset to take over another user's account, including changing their password and accessing their data. Successful exploitation requires difficult timing conditions and specific realm configurations.

Technical details

The keycloak-services component fails to verify that an authenticator is valid for the current authentication flow when switching between standard authentication and reset credentials paths. An authenticated attacker can trigger a race condition during credential reset to associate their authentication state with another user's session, bypassing access controls. This is a CWE-362 concurrent execution vulnerability requiring low privilege, network access, but high attack complexity due to the race condition requirement.
