Vendor fixes and mitigations (from advisory)
- Mitigation: Block direct internet access to IEM Pro / IEM Virtual The most effective immediate measure is to block direct internet access to your IEM Pro or IEM V instance. This ensures that no external attacks can occur via this vulnerability.
- Mitigation: Configure a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Reverse Proxy If complete blocking of internet access is not immediately feasible, you can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or a Reverse Proxy to block the affected path. Please configure your WAF or Reverse Proxy to block the following path: /auth/realms/customer/login-actions/reset-credentials Please note that by blocking this path, the password reset functionality will be unavailable.
- Mitigation: Deactivate Password Reset in Keycloak Realm Settings Deactivate the password reset functionality directly within the Keycloak realm settings. To do this, navigate to: Identity & access management > realm settings > Login > Forgot password > Off Please note that by deactivating this setting, the password reset functionality will be unavailable.
