Package : keycloak
Type : certificate verification bypass

Link :   https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-2084

Summary

The package keycloak before version 14.0.0-1 is vulnerable to
certificate verification bypass.

Resolution

Upgrade to 14.0.0-1.

# pacman -Syu "keycloak>.0.0-1"

The problem has been fixed upstream in version 14.0.0.

Workaround
=========
None.

Description
==========
A security issue has been found in Keycloak before version 14.0.0.
Depending on the webserver configuration, a malicious user can supply

appropriate timestamp validation.

Impact
