Description
A flaw was found in the role-users endpoint of the keycloak-services library, which is the core component of the Keycloak identity and access management solution. The issue occurs because the system fails to check if an administrator has permission to view individual users when listing members of a role. This allows a restricted administrator to see private information, such as names and email addresses, for users they should not be able to access.

Impact

A flaw in the role‑users endpoint of the keycloak‑services library allows an administrator with insufficient permissions to view private user details such as names and email addresses that should be restricted. The system does not validate that the requester is authorized to see individual user attributes when listing role members, resulting in an exposure of sensitive information. This is a CWE‑639 authorization bias flaw where the application fails to enforce proper access controls to protected resources.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability impacts Red Hat Build of Keycloak, Red Hat Single Sign‑On 7, Red Hat Data Grid 8, and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack. Exact affected version ranges are not specified, so all supported releases remain candidate targets until a vendor fix is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of < 1 % reflects a low probability of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote access to the role‑users API over HTTPS, requiring authentication as an administrator—this inference is based on the description of the vulnerability. Exploitation results in information disclosure but does not lead to code execution or full system compromise.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest Red Hat Build of Keycloak or Red Hat Single Sign‑On release that contains the vendor‑supplied fix for CVE‑2026‑17059
  • No workaround is currently available; apply the vendor patch or update to a version that includes the fix
  • Restrict administrative accounts to the minimum roles required for their duties and ensure the role‑users endpoint is accessed only by authorized admins
  • Enable audit logging for access to the role‑users endpoint to detect and investigate unauthorized viewing of user attributes
