Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 13, 2019 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 1, 2023

Package

npm keycloak-connect (npm)

Affected versions

< 4.8.3

Patched versions

4.8.3

Description

Versions of keycloak-connect prior to 4.4.0 are vulnerable to Forced Logout. The package fails to validate JWT signatures on the /k_logout route, allowing attackers to logout users and craft malicious JWTs with NBF values that prevent user access indefinitely.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
