CVE-2026-107602 vulnerability in Red Hat Products
Published on November 5, 2026
Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: unauthenticated cpu exhaustion via saml 1.1 keyinfo infinite loop
A flaw was found in the SAML 1.1 XML parsing logic of Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution. The issue occurs when the parser encounters unexpected elements within a security token's key information section, causing the processing thread to enter an infinite loop. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted requests, leading to 100% CPU usage and a total denial of service that requires a server restart to resolve.
