A flaw was found in the Keycloak authorization token endpoint. The vulnerability is a logic error in how UMA permission tickets are processed when multiple resources share the same name across different owners. When a requester submits a permission ticket, the endpoint performs a lookup based on the resource name and the requester identity. However, it fails to properly isolate resources by their specific owner, leading to a scope merge where permissions from all matching resource names are aggregated into a single Requesting Party Token (RPT). An authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit this by creating a resource with the same name as a victim's resource and sharing it with themselves. This triggers the merge mechanism, allowing the attacker to obtain an RPT containing scopes belonging to the victim's resource. This bypasses the standard policy engine evaluation for the victim's resource. Successful exploitation requires that the victim has previously shared their resource.
