Description
A flaw was found in the Authorization Services component of Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution. The issue occurs in the policy evaluation endpoint, which is used by administrators to test how access policies apply to specific users. Due to missing authorization checks, a delegated administrator with limited viewing privileges can access the full profile and role information of any user in the realm, even if they are not permitted to view user details. This could lead to the exposure of sensitive information such as email addresses and assigned security roles.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw lies in the policy evaluation endpoint of the Authorization Services component, where missing access control allows a delegated administrator with limited viewing privileges to retrieve complete user profiles and security role information. This can expose email addresses and role assignments, violating confidentiality. The weakness matches the lack of authorization checks described by CWE‑862.

Affected Systems

Affected are Red Hat Build of Keycloak and Red Hat Single Sign‑On version 7. No specific version sub‑details are provided, but any installation using the policy evaluation endpoint in these products is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.9 indicates a moderate risk; an exploit requires only a delegated administrator credential and does not need additional privilege escalation. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is likely internal to an organization where a delegated admin credential can be obtained or misused. Because no workaround exists, administrators should limit access to the endpoint and monitor usage until an official patch is released.

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

  • Restrict delegated administrator privileges so that they cannot invoke the policy evaluation endpoint.
  • Disable or limit remote access to the policy evaluation endpoint to prevent data leakage.
  • Monitor audit logs for unexpected policy evaluation calls and investigate unusual activity.
  • Check Red Hat's security advisories regularly for a future patch that addresses this issue.
