3) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU76427

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20883

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Specifically, an application is vulnerable if all of the conditions are true:

• The application has Spring MVC auto-configuration enabled. This is the case by default if Spring MVC is on the classpath.
• The application makes use of Spring Boot's welcome page support, either static or templated.
• Your application is deployed behind a proxy which caches 404 responses.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Improper Certificate Validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU77752

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1664

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass client certificate validation.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when using X509 Client Certificate Authenticatior with the option "Revalidate Client Certificate". A remote attacker with ability to directly connect to Keycloak (e.g. not via the reverse proxy) can bypass certificate validation and gain unauthorized access to the application.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that there's a configuration error in KC_SPI_TRUSTSTORE_FILE_FILE, which results in accepting any certificate with the logging information of "Cannot validate client certificate trust: Truststore not available".

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
