Red Hat has released updated packages for Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.4.14 that address this vulnerability. Users should apply these security updates promptly. Before updating, back up existing installations including applications, configuration files, and databases. No alternative mitigations or workarounds are specified in the vendor advisory. Patch status is confirmed by Red Hat advisories RHSA-2026:50846 and RHSA-2026:50847.

Description

A flaw was found in Keycloak's Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) security policy management. The "Allowed Protocol Mapper Types" policy, which restricts which types of data mappers a client can use, fails to re-validate the mapper type during a client update if the mapper's configuration remains unchanged. An attacker with client registration privileges can exploit this by first registering an allowed mapper type with a malicious configuration and then swapping it for a restricted, high-privilege mapper type (such as one that hardcodes administrative roles). This allows the attacker to gain full administrative access to the Keycloak realm.
