What is CVE-2026-2092?
A significant security flaw has been identified in Keycloak's Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) broker endpoint. This vulnerability stems from improper validation of encrypted assertions when the overall SAML response lacks a signature. An attacker possessing a valid signed SAML assertion can exploit this issue by manipulating a SAML response, thereby injecting an encrypted assertion for an arbitrary principal. Successful exploitation may lead to unauthorized access and the potential for sensitive information disclosure.
