CVE-2026-18570 PUBLISHED

Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: full-scope-disabled client policy validation bypass via omitted fullscopeallowed

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 02.08.2026 Published: 02.08.2026 Updated: 02.08.2026

A flaw was found in the full-scope-disabled client-policy executor within the keycloak-services component. This component is responsible for enforcing security policies during client registration and configuration in Red Hat Build of Keycloak. The issue occurs because the executor only validates the fullScopeAllowed field when it is explicitly provided in a request. By omitting this field, a delegated user can bypass the policy, resulting in a client created with full scope access. This allows the client to obtain tokens with unauthorized role mappings.
