Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: standard token exchange v2 bypasses mtls holder-of-key binding

Type: advisorySource: Official CVE List1 source record

Keycloak provides a feature called mTLS holder-of-key binding which ensures that a token can only be used by the client that originally requested it by binding it to their digital certificate. A flaw was discovered where the new Standard Token Exchange V2 feature does not check for this certificate. This allows an attacker with stolen client credentials to obtain a standard, unrestricted token that bypasses these security protections.
