Описание
A flaw was found in Keycloak's Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) security policy management. The "Allowed Protocol Mapper Types" policy, which restricts which types of data mappers a client can use, fails to re-validate the mapper type during a client update if the mapper's configuration remains unchanged. An attacker with client registration privileges can exploit this by first registering an allowed mapper type with a malicious configuration and then swapping it for a restricted, high-privilege mapper type (such as one that hardcodes administrative roles). This allows the attacker to gain full administrative access to the Keycloak realm.
Отчет
The Red Hat Product Security team has assessed the severity of this vulnerability as Important. Successful exploitation allows an attacker with client registration privileges to escalate to realm administrator, granting them full control over the affected realm. This includes the ability to modify security settings, access sensitive user data, or cause a denial of service. The vulnerability stems from an asymmetric enforcement of the protocol mapper allow-list during client updates, where the system fails to re-validate the mapper type if the configuration remains unchanged.
