Technical details

The SAML brokering component in Keycloak fails to enforce ProxyRestriction constraints during the brokering flow, allowing attackers to bypass identity delegation boundaries. Exploitation requires a specific SAML brokering configuration with ProxyRestriction conditions from an upstream provider and low-privilege credentials. An attacker gains the ability to establish unauthorized sessions in downstream service providers beyond intended delegation boundaries.
