CVE-2026-9083

Vendor solution

Ensure that only highly trusted administrators are granted the "manage-realm" role within Keycloak. This role provides extensive administrative privileges, including the ability to exploit this vulnerability for filesystem probing. Regularly review and audit users assigned to this role to minimize the attack surface.

Red Hat statement

Medium: This flaw in Keycloak allows a highly privileged realm administrator with the "manage-realm" role to perform arbitrary filesystem path probing. By submitting a crafted keystore path, an authenticated attacker can determine the existence and readability of files on the Keycloak server, potentially identifying high-value targets for further attacks. Exploitation requires an attacker to possess the "manage-realm" role, which is a high-level administrative permission.
