CVE-2026-82965: Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: unauthenticated denial of service via saml soap endpoint unbounded xml parsing

Published Aug 31, 2026

Updated

A flaw was found in the SAML implementation of Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution. The SAML Artifact Resolution and ECP SOAP endpoints do not properly limit the size or complexity of incoming XML requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted, large XML messages that cause the server to consume excessive memory. This leads to the application running out of memory and crashing, resulting in a denial of service for all users.
