Org.keycloak.broker.saml: keycloak saml broker: authentication bypass due to disabled saml client completing idp-initiated login

Published Mar 5, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in org.keycloak.broker.saml. When a disabled Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) client is configured as an Identity Provider (IdP)-initiated broker landing target, it can still complete the login process and establish a Single Sign-On (SSO) session. This allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to other enabled clients without re-authentication, effectively bypassing security restrictions.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this issue, ensure that any SAML client intended to be disabled is not configured as an IdP-initiated broker landing target within Keycloak. Review your Keycloak realm configurations to identify and remove any such associations for disabled clients.
