What broke

Keycloak First Broker Login checked an email (or linking condition) and then performed the account merge later. In the gap, an attacker could complete a broker login that attached their IdP identity to the victim. CWE-367. CVSS 3.1, because exploitation needs a user in the linking flow. Red Hat patched.

Why it matters

Account merge is how "I signed in with Google" becomes "I own the corporate user." A low CVSS does not mean a low identity impact. Anyone who enables First Broker Login or email-as-identity linking needs to read this next to Vault EntityID reuse.

What to do

  • Upgrade Keycloak. Disable First Broker Login if you do not need social or partner linking.
  • Do not auto-link on email match. Require a confirmed session on the existing account first.
  • Review linked-identity tables for unexpected IdP aliases.
