Title
Keycloak: keycloak: denial of service via excessive processing of openid connect scope parameters
Summary
A flaw was found in Keycloak. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted POST request with an excessively long scope parameter to the OpenID Connect (OIDC) token endpoint. This leads to high resource consumption and prolonged processing times, ultimately resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the Keycloak server.
CWE
  • CWE-1050 - Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop
