What is CVE-2026-0707?

A security flaw in Keycloak's authorization header parser allows for overly permissive input, which compromises authentication mechanisms. The parser accepts non-standard characters, including tabs, as delimiters for the 'Bearer' authentication scheme. Additionally, it exhibits leniency with case variations that deviate from the specifications set out in RFC 6750. This could potentially enable attackers to exploit authentication processes, leading to unauthorized access.
