NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream keycloak package and not the keycloak package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Keycloak. Keycloak’s account console and other pages accept arbitrary text in the error_description query parameter. This text is directly rendered in error pages without validation or sanitization. While HTML encoding prevents XSS, an attacker can craft URLs with misleading messages (e.g., fake support phone numbers or URLs), which are displayed within the trusted Keycloak UI. This creates a phishing vector, potentially tricking users into contacting malicious actors.
