2026-06 Monthly Summary: Key security hardening patch for SAML ECP error handling in keycloak/keycloak; mitigated CVE-2026-9794 by preventing leakage of client existence and configuration state in error responses. Introduced a generic error message and centralized constants to ensure secure reporting. Delivered three commits (dba79eb03fb9d634fda5e86e1613b8747f968518, 05e98366773eec60878bb2a6d5da6bc7048ac3c8, 7750e3ff823d1da8580d42c51194feb2e933b87b) addressing CVE-2026-9794 and closes #49428, #49686. Impact: reduces exposure risk in SAML ECP flows, improves security posture, without user-visible changes; minimal performance impact.

May 2026 monthly summary for keycloak/keycloak: Focused on delivering key JWT-related test suite improvements and hardening critical authentication flows. Delivered a refactor and test migrations for JWT-related tests into a cleaner package structure, with enhanced credential handling and signing error paths, and migrated related OID4VC JWT Issuer Endpoint and SD-JWT Issuing Endpoint tests. Also hardened SAML 1.1 parsing to address security concerns by correcting XML handling and adding tests to guard against malformed requests, aligned with CVE-2026-7307. These efforts reduce maintenance burden, strengthen security, and improve reliability of OIDC/SD-JWT flows and downstream credential signing processes.
