CVE-2020-1714: Improper Input Validation

May 13, 2020 (updated October 19, 2021)

A flaw was found in Keycloak, where the code base contains usages of ObjectInputStream without type checks. This flaw allows an attacker to inject arbitrarily serialized Java Objects, which would then get deserialized in a privileged context and potentially lead to remote code execution.
