Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: conditional otp skip-header policy evaluated against untrusted proxy headers

Published Sep 23, 2026 · Updated Nov 6, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A flaw was found in the Conditional OTP authenticator of Keycloak, an identity and access management solution. The issue occurs when the system evaluates specific HTTP headers to determine if a one-time password (OTP) should be skipped, but fails to verify if those headers came from a trusted source. This could allow an attacker who already has a user's password to bypass the second-factor authentication by providing a specially crafted header in their request.
