A flaw was found in Keycloak. When a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) encrypted request object is submitted, Keycloak may incorrectly process unsigned claims if the decrypted content is raw JSON, bypassing the configured signature policy. This allows a remote attacker to submit unauthorized claims, leading to a compromise of data integrity within the OpenID Connect (OIDC) authorization flow. While a redirect URI allowlist acts as a compensating control, this vulnerability violates OIDC Core and Financial-grade API (FAPI) signing requirements. keycloak: Keycloak: Security policy bypass in JWE-encrypted request object processing This Medium impact vulnerability in Keycloak allows an attacker to bypass the `requestObjectSignatureAlg` policy when processing JWE-encrypted request objects with raw JSON plaintext. While this violates OIDC Core and FAPI signing requirements, the `redirect_uri` allowlist acts as a compensating control, preventing full authorization code or token exfiltration.
