CVE-2026-15573 PUBLISHED

Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: authorization bypass via unnormalized uri matching in pathmatcher

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 13.07.2026 Published: 05.08.2026 Updated: 05.08.2026

A flaw was found in Keycloak's Authorization Services. The component responsible for matching request paths to security policies (PathMatcher) does not properly normalize URIs before comparison. By adding extra characters like a trailing slash or matrix parameters to a URL, an attacker can trick the system into applying a less restrictive security policy than intended. This allows an authenticated user to access administrative or restricted areas they should not have permission to see.
