Summary
A flaw was found in the client policy enforcement mechanism of Keycloak. The issue occurs when the system checks group membership by name instead of a unique identifier.
An attacker with client management privileges could bypass security policies by joining a group with a matching name in a different part of the group hierarchy, potentially allowing them to register or update clients without following required security hardening profiles.
The Red Hat Product Security team has assessed the severity of this vulnerability as Moderate, given that exploitation requires the attacker to have existing client registration or update privileges and a specific group hierarchy configuration.
The vulnerability's root cause is the use of non-unique group names for membership validation in client policy conditions. Weakness: CWE-285.
Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Build of Keycloak. Red Hat lists Red Hat Data Grid 8; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack; Red Hat Single Sign-On 7 as not affected.
Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
