Description
A flaw was found in the Fine-Grained Admin Permissions (FGAP) v2 implementation within Keycloak's administrative services. When FGAP v2 is enabled, the system fails to properly filter child groups based on the caller's specific permissions when requested through a parent group. This allows a delegated administrator to view details of child groups they are not authorized to access directly, including group names, paths, and custom attributes.

Impact

A flaw in Keycloak’s Fine‑Grained Admin Permissions (FGAP) v2 implementation causes the system to return details of child groups when a delegated administrator requests a parent group. The returned information includes child group names, paths, and custom attributes, even when the administrator does not have permission to view those child groups. This violates row‑level access controls (CWE‑1220) and exposes sensitive group hierarchy data that is not meant to be publicly available.

Affected Systems

Deployments of the Red Hat Build of Keycloak with FGAP v2 enabled are affected. No specific version numbers are listed, so the vulnerability applies to all instances where the feature is active.

Risk and Exploitability

The likely attack vector is an authenticated administrative user issuing an HTTP request to the parent group endpoint when FGAP v2 is enabled. The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates low severity; the EPSS score < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exposing group structure and attributes but does not grant additional privileges beyond the information disclosed.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest vendor patch that restores proper permission filtering for child groups when FGAP v2 Hat advisory https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-14615)
  • If a patch is not yet available, temporarily disable FGAP v2 in the Keycloak configuration to prevent the bypass until an update is applied.
