Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 9 Sep 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Red Hat to 24.0.7.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an official update to Keycloak version 24.0.7 that addresses these vulnerabilities. Users should back up their existing installations, including applications, configurations, and databases, before applying the update. Applying this update is the recommended remediation. There is no indication that additional mitigations or workarounds are required beyond installing the fixed version.

Description

Red Hat has released an update for its build of Keycloak to version 24.0.7 addressing three security issues: a session fixation vulnerability in Elytron SAML adapters (CVE-2024-7341), a One Time Passcode (OTP) validity period exceeding its expiration time (CVE-2024-7318), and an open redirect vulnerability on the Account page (CVE-2024-7260). These issues affect authentication and session management components of the Keycloak server. The update is classified as moderate severity and is intended to improve the security posture of the authentication system.

Impact

The vulnerabilities could allow attackers to exploit session fixation, extend the validity of OTPs beyond intended limits, and perform open redirect attacks on the Account page. These issues may lead to unauthorized access or phishing risks. However, the overall severity is rated as moderate by Red Hat, indicating a limited but meaningful impact on authentication security.

Summary

The Red Hat build of Keycloak 24.0.7 update fixes three security vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-7341 addresses a session fixation issue in Elytron SAML adapters, which could allow an attacker to fixate a session identifier; CVE-2024-7318 resolves a problem where One Time Passcodes remain valid longer than their intended expiration time, potentially allowing unauthorized use; CVE-2024-7260 mitigates an open redirect vulnerability on the Account page that could be exploited to redirect users to malicious sites. These fixes enhance the security of authentication and session handling in Keycloak.

CWE-601URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: LowOWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design
Use an intermediate disclaimer page that provides the user with a clear warning that they are leaving the current site. Implement a long timeout before the redirect occurs, or force the user to click on the link. Be careful to avoid XSS problems (CWE-79) when generating the disclaimer page.
Architecture and Design · Enforcement by Conversion
When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: LowOWASP Top 10 A04:2025: Cryptographic Failures (opens in a new tab)
The product uses a cryptographic key or password past its expiration date, which diminishes its safety significantly by increasing the timing window for cracking attacks against that key.
Architecture and Design
Adequate consideration should be put in to the user interface in order to notify users previous to the key's expiration, to explain the importance of new key generation and to walk users through the process as painlessly as possible.

CWE-384Session Fixation (opens in a new tab)
Compound weaknessOWASP Top 10 A07:2025: Authentication Failures (opens in a new tab)
Authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions.
Architecture and Design
Invalidate any existing session identifiers prior to authorizing a new user session.
Architecture and Design
For platforms such as ASP that do not generate new values for sessionid cookies, utilize a secondary cookie. In this approach, set a secondary cookie on the user's browser to a random value and set a session variable to the same value.
Operation · Firewall
Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth.
