Keycloak SAML Broker Auth Bypass via Disabled Client
CVE-2026-3047 Published on March 5, 2026
Org.keycloak.broker.saml: keycloak saml broker: authentication bypass due to disabled saml client completing idp-initiated login
A flaw was found in org.keycloak.broker.saml. When a disabled Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) client is configured as an Identity Provider (IdP)-initiated broker landing target, it can still complete the login process and establish a Single Sign-On (SSO) session. This allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to other enabled clients without re-authentication, effectively bypassing security restrictions.
