CVE-2024-1132: Keycloak: path transversal in redirection validation

A flaw was found in Keycloak, where it does not properly validate URLs included in a redirect. This issue could allow an attacker to construct a malicious request to bypass validation and access other URLs and sensitive information within the domain or conduct further attacks. This flaw affects any client that utilizes a wildcard in the Valid Redirect URIs field, and requires user interaction within the malicious URL.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2024-1132 is a Keycloak redirect validation flaw. If a client allows wildcard redirect URIs, an attacker may lure a user into a malicious link that bypasses validation and reaches other same-domain URLs or sensitive information. This matters because identity systems sit in front of many business applications.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation where Keycloak protects sensitive applications or broad SSO access. The flaw is high severity and identity-adjacent, but the available sources do not show confirmed active exploitation.

Technical view

The issue is classified as CWE-22 path traversal in redirect URL validation. CVSS is 8.1 high: network exploitable, low complexity, no privileges, user interaction required, with high confidentiality and integrity impact. The source bundle lists affected Keycloak 21.1.0 and 23.0.0 plus several Red Hat products and packages containing Keycloak components.

Likely exposure

Most likely exposure is Keycloak, Red Hat build of Keycloak, or RHSSO deployments where clients use wildcard entries in Valid Redirect URIs. Red Hat also lists affected bundled products, including Migration Toolkit, Apicurio Registry 2, and Red Hat build of Quarkus packages.

Exploitation context

The bundle marks KEV as false and provides no cited evidence of active exploitation. Exploitation requires user interaction with a malicious URL and depends on vulnerable redirect validation plus wildcard redirect URI configuration.

Researcher notes

Focus validation on client redirect configuration, not only server version. The affected condition specifically mentions wildcard Valid Redirect URIs and user interaction. Source evidence is vendor-centered; exploit prevalence and exact fixed upstream versions are not fully established in the bundle.

Mitigation direction

  • Review Red Hat errata for applicable fixed packages and update affected products.
  • Replace wildcard Valid Redirect URIs with exact, least-privilege redirect URLs.
  • Audit Keycloak clients for broad redirect patterns and unnecessary domain wildcards.
  • Check vendor guidance before applying compensating controls not named in advisories.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Keycloak, RHSSO, and Red Hat products listed in the affected matrix.
  • Identify clients using wildcard values in the Valid Redirect URIs field.
  • Confirm installed package versions against Red Hat CVE and errata records.
  • Review application logs for suspicious redirect flows involving unusual same-domain targets.
