Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.keycloak
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by GHSA-wmxr-6j5f-838p, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.keycloak
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 26.2.14), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.keycloak command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1287: Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input, where the product receives input that is expected to be of a certain type, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input is actually of the expected type. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n### Original Description\nA flaw was found in Keycloak. Keycloak's Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) broker endpoint does not properly validate encrypted assertions when the overall SAML response is not signed. An attacker with a valid signed SAML assertion can exploit this by crafting a malicious SAML response. This allows the attacker to inject an encrypted assertion for an arbitrary principal, leading to unauthorized access and potential information disclosure.",
