A flaw was found in Keycloak in OAuth 2.0 Pushed Authorization Requests (PAR). Client-provided parameters were found to be included in plain text in the KC_RESTART cookie returned by the authorization server's HTTP response to a request_uri authorization request, possibly leading to an information disclosure vulnerability.
CVE-2024-4540
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.6%, top 57% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
