REDHAT-BUG-2508290: Medium severity Keycloak Keycloak vulnerability

Published Jul 29, 2026
·
Updated

A flaw was found in Keycloak. The generic identity-provider REST endpoint (/admin/realms/{realm}/identity-provider/instances) allows a user with only manage-identity-providers permission to bind a newly created identity provider to an organization by including an organizationId in the request payload. While the organization-scoped endpoint correctly requires both manage-identity-providers and manage-organizations permissions, the generic endpoint fails to enforce the manage-organizations check. This allows an IdP operator to associate brokers with organizations they are not authorized to manage, influencing organization login flows and broker selection. Additionally, this path skips organization IdP-list cache invalidation, making the newly bound broker invisible in cached organization IdP listings.
