CVE-2026-14209Keycloak-admin-ui: keycloak-admin-ui:admin ui extension brute-force-user endpoint bypasses fgapv2 user view restrictions
Medium 4.3
In plain English
A medium-severity authorization bypass via user-controlled key in Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.4 from Red Hat. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 33% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A vulnerability was discovered in Keycloak's Admin UI extension that allows certain administrative users to bypass security restrictions. When Fine-Grained Admin Permissions (FGAPv2) are enabled, an administrator who should only be able to search for users (but not view their full details) can use a specific "brute-force-user" endpoint to access a user's full profile. This includes sensitive information and security metadata. The issue occurs because the system fails to check if the administrator has the required "view" permission for that specific user when using this particular search path.
