CVE-2026-16442
keycloak-services: keycloak-services: SAML IdP-initiated broker login bypasses link-only restriction
Severity by source
Trivy's own label is CRITICAL. Rated critical by NVD, Bitnami. Rated lower by Red Hat (high).
Description
A flaw was found in the SAML broker component of Keycloak, which is used to manage identity federation and user authentication. The issue occurs because the IdP-initiated Single Sign-On endpoint fails to check if a provider is restricted to account linking only. This allows an attacker with control over a linked upstream identity to bypass login restrictions and gain full access to a local user account.
