GMS-2023-573: Keycloak vulnerable to user impersonation via stolen UUID code

August 4, 2023 (updated August 14, 2023)

Keycloak’s OpenID Connect user authentication was found to incorrectly authenticate requests. An authenticated attacker who could also obtain a certain piece of info from a user request, from a victim within the same realm, could use that data to impersonate the victim and generate new session tokens.
