id: CVE-2021-20323

info:
  name: Keycloak 10.0.0 - 18.0.0 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: ndmalc,incogbyte
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Keycloak 10.0.0 to 18.0.0 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability via the client-registrations endpoint. On a POST request, the application does not sanitize an unknown attribute name before including it in the error response with a 'Content-Type' of text/hml. Once reflected, the response is interpreted as HTML. This can be performed on any realm present on the Keycloak instance. Since the bug requires Content-Type application/json and is submitted via a POST, there is no common path to exploit that has a user impact.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser, leading to session hijacking, defacement, or theft of sensitive information.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Keycloak to a version that is not affected by the vulnerability (10.0.1 or higher).
