SCA: security update for org.keycloak:keycloak-core (GHSA-g4gc-rh26-m3p5)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414854

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- An open redirect vulnerability was found in Keycloak. A specially crafted URL can be constructed where the
referrer and referrer_uri parameters are made to trick a user to visit a malicious webpage. A trusted URL
can trick users and automation into believing that the URL is safe, when, in fact, it redirects to a
malicious server. This issue can result in a victim inadvertently trusting the destination of the
redirect, potentially leading to a successful phishing attack or other types of attacks. Once a crafted
URL is made, it can be sent to a Keycloak admin via email for example. This will trigger this
vulnerability when the user visits the page and clicks the link. A malicious actor can use this to target
users they know are Keycloak admins for further attacks. It may also be possible to bypass other domain-
related security checks, such as supplying this as a OAuth redirect uri. The malicious actor can further
obfuscate the redirect_uri using URL encoding, to hide the text of the actual malicious website domain.
