Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Keycloak's keycloak-services Maven package, versions below 22.0.10 and from 23.0.0 up to but not including 24.0.3, accepts unvalidated cross-origin messages in its checkLoginIframe component. An attacker who can get a user's browser to load a malicious page could use this to send large volumes of requests and degrade the server's availability. Upgrade to version 22.0.10 or 24.0.3. The source gives few details on the exact attack mechanics.
