Description
A flaw was found in the group search functionality of the Keycloak server's administrative API. When Fine-Grained Admin Permissions (FGAP) v2 is enabled, a delegated administrator can bypass access restrictions to view parent groups they are not authorized to see. By searching for a child group they have permission to view, the system incorrectly returns the full details of the parent group in the response, leading to the disclosure of sensitive group attributes and configuration.

AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the group search routine of the Keycloak administrative API allows a delegated administrator to gain visibility into parent groups that they normally cannot access when Fine‑Grained Admin Permissions (FGAP) v2 is enabled. By requesting information for a child group that the user is permitted to view, the API returns the full parent group details in the response. This results in an information disclosure of protected group attributes and configuration settings, potentially revealing organizational structure and sensitive permissions. The weakness is captured by CWE‑639, an authorization bypass through user‑controlled input.

Affected Systems

Affected vendors include Red Hat for its Build of Keycloak, Red Hat Data Grid 8, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack, and Red Hat Single Sign‑On 7. The impacted components are those utilizing the Keycloak services API; specific version numbers are not listed in the advisory, implying that the vulnerability spans affected builds referenced by the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a low‑severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is reported as less than 1 %, suggesting a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, meaning no known widespread exploitation has been reported. The attack vector is inferred to be an administrative API call from a delegated administrator who has legitimate permission to view a child group; consequently, the flaw requires the FGAP v2 configuration to be enabled and the attacker to have some level of delegated administrative authority. Once those conditions are met, the attacker can retrieve disallowed parent group information and potentially other sensitive attributes embedded in the parent group data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑issued security update for Keycloak services that restores proper access control on group search operations
  • Disable Fine‑Grained Admin Permissions v2 until a patched version of the software is applied
  • Restrict delegated administrators to only those groups necessary for their role and audit group search usage
