What is CVE-2025-8419?

A vulnerability in Keycloak Services allows for SMTP injection during email registration. This issue arises from the handling of special characters, permitting an attacker to send unsolicited short emails from the Keycloak server. The attack is limited to emails with 64 characters or fewer, restricting the potential damage to brief messages containing minimal information. While the immediate consequence is the unintended dispatch of emails, this vulnerability could serve as a foothold for more advanced attacks in the future.
