AI-suggested
Red Hat has released an official security update in Red Hat build of Keycloak version 26.2.16 that fixes this session fixation vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 26.2.16 as soon as possible. Before applying the update, back up existing installations, including applications, configuration files, and databases. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A session fixation vulnerability was found in Keycloak's login-actions endpoints. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this flaw by pre-creating an authentication session and tricking a victim into visiting a maliciously crafted link. By leveraging the /login-actions/restart endpoint—which processes session handles without adequate CSRF protection or cookie ownership validation—an attacker can reset the authentication flow state. This causes Single Sign-On (SSO) to authenticate the victim transparently upon clicking the link, allowing the attacker to hijack the required-action form without needing the victim's credentials. A successful exploit could lead to complete account takeover, including highly privileged administrative accounts.
