How to Fix CVE-2024-10492

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Keycloak quarkus server dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.keycloak:keycloak-quarkus-server fixed: 26.0.6 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.keycloak</groupId>
    <artifactId>keycloak-quarkus-server</artifactId>
    <version>26.0.6</version>
</dependency>
org.keycloak:keycloak-quarkus-server fixed: 26.0.6 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.keycloak</groupId>
    <artifactId>keycloak-quarkus-server</artifactId>
    <version>26.0.6</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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 CVE-2024-10492, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.keycloak

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Keycloak quarkus server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 26.0.6), 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-73: External Control of File Name or Path, where the product allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations. In Keycloak quarkus server, 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.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability was found in Keycloak. A user with high privileges could read sensitive information from a Vault file that is not within the expected context. This attacker must have previous high access to the Keycloak server in order to perform resource creation, for example, an LDAP provider configuration and set up a Vault read file, which will only inform whether that file exists or not.
