AI-suggested

Red Hat has released updated Keycloak 26.6.3 images that fix this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.6.3 or later to remediate this issue. Before applying the update, back up existing installations, including applications, configuration files, and databases. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory. No alternative mitigations or workarounds are specified in the advisory.

Description

A flaw was found in Keycloak's Client Policies, specifically within the `org.keycloak.protocol.oidc` component. When certain condition providers (client-type, client-roles, client-attributes, client-scopes) are used to enforce security restrictions, the `reject-ropc-grant` executor is silently bypassed. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to obtain tokens via a Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) grant, even when a policy is explicitly configured to block it. This bypass can lead to unauthorized access and information disclosure.
