Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-305

Allowed

Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness

Abstraction: Base · Status: Draft

The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.

300 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Summary
Keycloak Gatekeeper vulnerable to bypass on using lower case HTTP headers
Details

A vulnerability was found in all versions of the deprecated package Keycloak Gatekeeper, where on using lower case HTTP headers (via cURL) we can bypass our Gatekeeper. Lower case headers are also accepted by some webservers (e.g. Jetty). This means there is no protection when we put a Gatekeeper in front of a Jetty server and use lowercase headers.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-12-24 06:30 – Updated: 2026-05-06 18:30
VLAI
Details

A flaw was found in the skupper console, a read-only interface that renders cluster network, traffic details, and metrics for a network application that a user sets up across a hybrid multi-cloud environment. When the default authentication method is used, a random password is generated for the "admin" user and is persisted in either a Kubernetes secret or a podman volume in a plaintext file. This authentication method can be manipulated by an attacker, leading to the reading of any user-readable file in the container filesystem, directly impacting data confidentiality. Additionally, the attacker may induce skupper to read extremely large files into memory, resulting in resource exhaustion and a denial of service attack.
