CVE-2026-0707
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:NSummary
CVE-2026-0707 is a medium-severity Incorrect Behavior Order: Authorization Before Parsing and Canonicalization (CWE-551) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 30th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
A flaw was found in Keycloak. The Keycloak Authorization header parser is overly permissive regarding the formatting of the "Bearer" authentication scheme. It accepts non-standard characters (such as tabs) as separators and tolerates case variations that deviate from RFC 6750…

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-3 requires correct enforcement of authorizations on requests, which structurally demands parsing and canonicalization occur first so that the check cannot be bypassed.
SI-10 mandates validation (including canonicalization) of inputs before security decisions are made, directly stopping the incorrect ordering that enables the bypass.

Secure SDLC practices directly require correct authorization logic after parsing/canonicalization to prevent bypasses.

Security testing can detect this weakness but does not prevent it by itself.
Secure development lifecycle requires proper URL parsing and canonicalization before authorization checks.
Application security requirements should mandate correct authorization order after canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles include proper request handling order to prevent bypasses.
Secure coding practices directly address canonicalization and authorization sequencing flaws.
Information access restriction is undermined when authorization occurs before canonicalization.
