Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: ciba confidential-only contract not enforced for public clients

Published Oct 12, 2026 · Updated Oct 15, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A flaw was found in the Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication CIBA implementation within the keycloak-services component of Keycloak. This component handles advanced authentication flows where a client initiates a login on behalf of a user. The issue occurs because Keycloak fails to verify that a client is authorized to use the CIBA flow, allowing public clients to bypass security requirements. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into approving a login request, eventually gaining full access to the users account without needing a client secret.
