CVE-2026-16104Keycloak-services: keycloak-services: authenticator config endpoint exposes raw recaptcha secrets to view-only admins
Medium 4.3
In plain English
A medium-severity security flaw in Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.6 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 0.5% (higher than 40% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A flaw was found in the authentication configuration endpoint of the keycloak-services component, which is the core engine for Red Hat Build of Keycloak identity and access management. The issue occurs because the system fails to mask sensitive configuration values, such as reCAPTCHA secret keys, when they are requested by administrators with view-only permissions. This can lead to the exposure of third-party service credentials to unauthorized personnel or through administrative logs.
