• EPSS: 0.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known

Description

A flaw was found in the full-scope-disabled client-policy executor within the keycloak-services component. This component is responsible for enforcing security policies during client registration and configuration in Red Hat Build of Keycloak. The issue occurs because the executor only validates the fullScopeAllowed field when it is explicitly provided in a request. By omitting this field, a delegated user can bypass the policy, resulting in a client created with full scope access. This allows the client to obtain tokens with unauthorized role mappings.

Affected products

• Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.4: all versions
