CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in Keycloak's authentication session management allows users to bypass mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) by manually accessing a specific session restart link during login. This flaw enables unauthorized access, as it permits users to log in using only their password, undermining the enforced security policies. Organizations utilizing Keycloak for identity and access management should prioritize addressing this issue to ensure compliance with their security protocols.
Original NVD Description
A flaw was found in the authentication session management of Keycloak, an identity and access management solution. The issue occurs when an administrator enforces a stronger authentication flow, such as mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) setup, through a client policy. A user can bypass this requirement by manually visiting a specific session restart web link during the login process. This action clears the internal markers that track the required security steps, allowing the user to log in with only a password and gain access without completing the mandated 2FA setup.
