CVE-2026-33585: CWE-233 Improper handling of parameters in Arqit Symmetric Key Agreement Platform
Improper management of the idle timeout parameter in the Keycloak interface of the Arqit SKA-Platform enables an attacker to impersonate an authenticated tenant user via an unexpired browser session. This issue affects Symmetric Key Agreement Platform: before 26.03.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from improper management of the idle timeout parameter within the Keycloak interface of the Arqit Symmetric Key Agreement Platform. An attacker can leverage this flaw to impersonate an authenticated tenant user by exploiting an unexpired browser session. The issue affects versions prior to 26.03. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates that the attack requires physical access (AV:P), high attack complexity (AC:H), no privileges (PR:N), and user interaction (UI:R), with low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with physical access and requiring user interaction can impersonate an authenticated tenant user by exploiting an unexpired browser session due to improper idle timeout handling. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low according to the CVSS score. There are no known exploits in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround has been published. Until a fix is available, limit physical access to affected systems and ensure users log out of sessions when not in use.
