Description

A flaw was found in Keycloak. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted SOAP requests to the SAML ECP (Security Assertion Markup Language Enhanced Client or Proxy) endpoint with varying client IDs. By observing distinct faultstrings in the responses, the attacker can determine the client's protocol type, leading to information disclosure.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
