CVE-2026-4636

Keycloak: keycloak: uma policy bypass allows authenticated users to gain unauthorized access to victim-owned resources.

Published: Apr 2, 2026Updated: Apr 16, 2026 Sources: CVE List NVD BDUCWE-551

Description

A flaw was found in Keycloak. An authenticated user with the uma_protection role can bypass User-Managed Access (UMA) policy validation. This allows the attacker to include resource identifiers owned by other users in a policy creation request, even if the URL path specifies an attacker-owned resource. Consequently, the attacker gains unauthorized permissions to victim-owned resources, enabling them to obtain a Requesting Party Token (RPT) and access sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions.
