CVE-2026-9795

Keycloak: keycloak: privilege escalation via improper scope mapping enforcement

Published: May 28, 2026Updated: May 28, 2026 Sources: CVE List NVD
7.3CVSS
HIGH

A flaw was found in Keycloak's Fine-Grained Admin Permissions (FGAPv2) feature. An administrator with limited client management permissions can exploit this vulnerability to assign any realm role, including highly privileged roles, to a client's scope mapping. This bypasses intended security controls, allowing the injected role to be projected into a user's authentication token when they access the modified client. This could lead to unauthorized privilege escalation within the Keycloak realm.
