CVE-2024-10270: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
A vulnerability was found in the Keycloak-services package. If untrusted data is passed to the SearchQueryUtils method, it could lead to a denial of service (DoS) scenario by exhausting system resources due to a Regex complexity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2024-10270 exists in the Keycloak-services component where inefficient regular expression handling in the SearchQueryUtils method allows crafted input to cause excessive resource consumption, resulting in denial of service. This affects Keycloak versions up to 25.0.0. Red Hat has addressed this issue in their Keycloak 24.0.9 build, providing updated container images and packages for OpenShift and standalone deployments. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires network access with low complexity and privileges but results in availability impact only.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can cause denial of service by exhausting system resources, disrupting authentication services provided by Keycloak. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. No known active exploits have been reported.
