Detectable: evidence found.

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 8.0.4.1.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an official security update (JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.0 Update 4.1) that fixes this vulnerability. Users should apply this update after ensuring all previously released errata relevant to their system are installed. It is also recommended to back up all applications, configuration files, databases, and database settings before applying the update. No additional mitigation actions are required beyond applying the official patch.

Description

A moderate severity open redirect vulnerability (CVE-2024-8883) has been identified in the Keycloak services component of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.0. This issue involves improper validation of redirect URIs, which could allow an attacker to redirect users to arbitrary external sites. Red Hat has released an asynchronous security update (JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.0 Update 4.1) that addresses this vulnerability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild at this time. Users are advised to apply the update after ensuring all prior errata are installed and backing up their systems.

Impact

The vulnerability could allow attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs via the vulnerable redirect URI validation in Keycloak services. This can be leveraged in phishing or social engineering attacks to trick users into visiting malicious sites. However, there are no reports of active exploitation in the wild. The impact is rated moderate by Red Hat.

Summary

CVE-2024-8883 is an open redirect vulnerability in the Keycloak services component of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.0. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of redirect URIs, potentially enabling attackers to redirect users to malicious external sites. Red Hat has issued an asynchronous patch in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.0 Update 4.1 to fix this issue. The update requires prior errata to be applied and recommends backing up existing installations before updating. No active exploitation has been observed.

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.
