    Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Red Hat Enterprise Linux ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)-Angriffe durchzuführen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.

  • GHSA-4f53-xh3v-g8x4Keycloak secondary factor bypass in step-up authentication2024-04-17ghsa · osvUS

    Keycloak does not correctly validate its client step-up authentication. A password-authed attacker could use this flaw to register a false second auth factor, alongside the existing one, to a targeted account. The second factor then permits step-up authentication.
