Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in the default-groups REST endpoint and realm representation of Keycloak. This component is responsible for managing groups that are automatically assigned to new users within a realm. The issue allows a delegated administrator with realm-viewing permissions to see the names and identifiers of hidden default groups, even if they lack the specific permissions to view those groups. This can lead to the exposure of sensitive organizational structures or internal group names.
AnalysisAI
Keycloak's default-groups REST endpoint and realm representation expose hidden group names and identifiers to delegated administrators who hold realm-viewing permissions but lack explicit group-viewing authorization. Affected products span Red Hat Build of Keycloak, Red Hat Single Sign-On 7, Red Hat Data Grid 8, and Red Hat JBoss EAP Expansion Pack. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with delegated administrator privileges that include realm-viewing permissions (view-realm role or equivalent) within the target Keycloak realm. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.3 Medium score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) accurately characterizes this as a bounded, real but non-critical issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A help desk operator or tenant administrator holding a delegated admin role with realm-view permissions - but intentionally denied group-view rights by a security policy - authenticates to the Keycloak admin REST API and issues a GET request to the default-groups endpoint or retrieves the realm representation object. The API response includes names and internal UUIDs of groups that were configured as hidden, revealing organizational group topology such as department names, security tiers, or regulatory classifications. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-supplied patch per the Red Hat security advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-16108; specific patched version numbers are not confirmed in the available input data and must be verified there. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
