Red Hat currently states that no mitigation is available or that existing options do not meet their criteria for ease of use, deployment, applicability, or stability. Users should monitor Red Hat advisories for updates. Since the vulnerability requires high-privileged access, limiting administrative permissions to trusted personnel is advisable.

Description
Keycloak provides a way to manage identity providers and organizations through its administrative API. A flaw was discovered where an administrator with permission to manage identity providers could link a new provider to an organization without having the required permissions to manage that organization. This could allow an unauthorized administrator to influence how users log into specific organizations.
