keycloak-core: open redirect via "form_post.jwt" JARM response mode

  • Disclosed: 23.01.2024
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 13:20

An incomplete fix was found in Keycloak Core patch. An attacker can steal authorization codes or tokens from clients using a wildcard in the JARM response mode "form_post.jwt". It is observed that changing the response_mode parameter in the original proof of concept from "form_post" to "form_post.jwt" can bypass the security patch implemented to address CVE-2023-6134.
