Red Hat SAML broker: origin validation error
High7.4CVE-2026-16442 · Published Aug 5, 2026 · updated Aug 10, 2026
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.
