CVE-2026-4628
Description
A flaw was found in Keycloak. An improper Access Control vulnerability in Keycloak’s User-Managed Access (UMA) resource_set endpoint allows attackers with valid credentials to bypass the allowRemoteResourceManagement=false restriction. This occurs due to incomplete enforcement of access control checks on PUT operations to the resource_set endpoint. This issue enables unauthorized modification of protected resources, impacting data integrity.
Statement
MODERATE: This flaw in Keycloak allows authenticated attackers to bypass the allowRemoteResourceManagement=false restriction, enabling unauthorized modification of protected resources. This impacts data integrity in Red Hat Build of Keycloak (RHBK) version rhbk-26.4. Other Red Hat products, including Enterprise Application Platform and Red Hat Single Sign-On, are not affected as the vulnerable code is not present.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
