CVE-2026-0707 (GCVE-0-2026-0707)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-01-08 03:41 – Updated: 2026-01-08 15:55

Title

Keycloak: keycloak authorization header parsing leading to potential security control bypass

Summary

A flaw was found in Keycloak. The Keycloak Authorization header parser is overly permissive regarding the formatting of the "Bearer" authentication scheme. It accepts non-standard characters (such as tabs) as separators and tolerates case variations that deviate from RFC 6750 specifications.

Severity ?

5.3 (Medium)
