Improper Authorization in Keycloak Organization Mapper Allows Unauthorized Organization Claims

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 10, 2025 in keycloak/keycloak • Updated Mar 10, 2025

Package

maven org.keycloak:keycloak-services (Maven)

Description

This vulnerability is caused by the improper mapping of users to organizations based solely on email/username patterns. The issue is limited to the token claim level, meaning the user is not truly added to the organization but may appear as such in applications relying on these claims. The risk increases in scenarios where self-registration is enabled and unrestricted, allowing an attacker to exploit the naming pattern. The issue is mitigated if admins restrict registration or use strict validation mechanisms.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
