DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in Keycloak. A broken access control vulnerability in the Account Resources user lookup endpoint allows a remote authenticated user, who owns at least one User-Managed Access (UMA) resource, to enumerate and harvest personally identifiable information (PII) for all realm users. By sending crafted requests with arbitrary usernames or email values, the endpoint returns full profile objects for unrelated users. This leads to broad profile-level information disclosure.

AnalysisAI

Broken access control in Keycloak's Account Resources user lookup endpoint exposes full PII profiles of all realm users to any authenticated user who owns at least one User-Managed Access (UMA) resource. By sending crafted requests with arbitrary usernames or email values to this endpoint, the attacker receives complete profile objects for unrelated realm members - bypassing the intended per-user data isolation. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the low attack complexity and minimal privilege requirement (any UMA resource owner) make it a meaningful insider-threat and tenant-isolation risk in shared Keycloak deployments.

Technical ContextAI

Keycloak's User-Managed Access (UMA) implementation extends OAuth 2.0 to allow end-users to manage fine-grained access policies on their own resources. The Account Resources API endpoint, designed to let a resource owner query access details, performs insufficient granularity of access control (CWE-1220) - it fails to scope returned user-profile data to only those users with a legitimate relationship to the requesting party's resources. Instead, it resolves and returns full user profile objects for any username or email submitted, effectively treating the endpoint as an unauthenticated-equivalent user directory. The affected product is Red Hat Build of Keycloak, tracked under CPE cpe:2.3:a:red_hat:red_hat_build_of_keycloak:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with the wildcard version indicating all currently evaluated builds are in scope.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version has been identified at time of analysis; the CPE entry carries a wildcard version with no fixed-version counterpart confirmed in the referenced data. Organizations should monitor the Red Hat Security Advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-37981 and the Bugzilla tracker at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2455326 for patch availability. As a compensating control, administrators should audit which realm users have UMA resource ownership and restrict UMA feature enablement to only those deployments where it is operationally required - disabling UMA eliminates access to the vulnerable endpoint but removes resource-sharing delegation functionality. Additionally, network-layer access controls restricting the Account Resources API to trusted internal clients or service accounts can reduce exposure surface while awaiting a patch. Enforce least-privilege policies so that UMA resource ownership is not inadvertently granted to untrusted users.
