Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 0.51% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Red Hat Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.4 and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Distribution package intelligence

Release-specific package status

ubuntu findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.

Repository candidate not checked

A published vendor fix does not prove that a matching update is enabled and installable on a particular asset. Confirm the local package candidate before scheduling remediation.

Summary
A flaw was found in the first-broker-login flow of the keycloak-services component. This component handles the initial authentication and account linking when a user logs in via an external identity provider. The issue allows an attacker to register a matching username on an external provider to trigger a collision in Keycloak, which results in the legitimate user being locked out of their account.
Remediation
Before applying the update, back up your existing installation, including all applications, configuration files, databases and database settings, and so on.

What, why and how

A flaw was found in the first-broker-login flow of the keycloak-services component. This component handles the initial authentication and account linking when a user logs in via an external identity provider. The issue allows an attacker to register a matching username on an external provider to trigger a collision in Keycloak, which results in the legitimate user being locked out of their account.

What

A flaw was found in the first-broker-login flow of the keycloak-services component. This component handles the initial authentication and account linking when a user logs in via an external identity provider. The issue allows an attacker to register a matching username on an external provider to trigger a collision in Keycloak, which results in the legitimate user being locked out of their account.

Why

The affected component does not establish the requesting party's identity reliably before granting access.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Authentication → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-287 ↗

CWE-287: Improper Authentication. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.

?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
