CVE-2026-118030

medium

A flaw was found in the HOTP authentication mechanism of the keycloak-services component, which provides identity and access management services.

A flaw was found in the HOTP authentication mechanism of the keycloak-services component, which provides identity and access management services. The issue occurs because the system validates a one-time password and updates its internal counter in two separate steps without proper locking. An attacker with a users password could exploit this timing gap to use a single one-time code to log in multiple times simultaneously.
